I have been using it in my work on the 50D camera for almost 5 months - the lens is simply armor-piercing - more than 1000 shots per working day in working conditions on the water. The protective filter has kept the lens and everything else is not amenable to external influences! a trip to the sea also did not affect. In a word - canon L-series speaks for itself! The only thing is that in poor lighting, beautiful pictures will not work, do not wait. But for 25-26000r this is the most ideal option! on the full matrix is generally excellent, I'm personally satisfied)))
