Pros:  Very sharp, good colours, nice quick focus, latest IS
Cons:  f/4.0

Superb lens with Canon's latest version of Image Stabilisation which supposedly allows for 4 stops.

Great colours and very sharp wide open, excellent build quality, if f/4 is fast enough then this is the lens for you - mush lighter and less noticed than the f/2.8 version
