This lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done - replace the previous L-series 28-70 f/2.8 lens with something even better. Extended coverage to an ultra-wide-angle 24mm makes it ideal for digital as well as film shooters, and the optics are even better than before with two Aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element. It's now sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, and a new processing unit makes the AF faster than ever. Minimize

Not exactly an L class lens in my book, but still a good performer.

Author's Rating: Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Lightweight, sturdy build, constant aperture at all focal lengths, that L 'Pop'.

Cons: Sharpness ranges from mildly soft to very soft, particularly around the edges.

Bottom Line:
Great color and contrast plus excellent built-to-last build quality overshadows the fact that it's less than perfect in the sharpness department compared to other L's. Read More
