The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Perhaps this is the best reporting glass for crop in its range of focal lengths. An amateur will come in as the only lens. Perfectly complemented by 24-105 4L.
Personally, I got a very sharp and accurate copy, which is a pleasure to shoot if you do not take into account the concern for the nuances of the vacuum cleaner.
If you clearly understand why you need this lens + you do not plan to leave the crop in the coming year - take it and think about it. If you are mediocre about photography and just want a good universal camera lens, this is also your glass.
If you are learning to shoot and are looking for yourself, then take the place of the new 17-55 used fixes 28 1.8, 50 1.4 and 85 1.8. There will be more sense for practice and a really better picture.

Pros

On my instance: - very sharp in the range of 35-55mm; - complete absence of misses; - really working 2.8 at all focal lengths; - complete absence of chromium in all lighting conditions - this is the first lens on which I saw that this happens; - complete absence of vignetting - which is also unique for zoom; - not a bad USM, not super smart, but decent; - sane stub. Allows you to remove static from your hands at shutter speeds of 1 / 5-1 / 15

Cons

Constructive (standard jambs of the proboscis family): - vacuums well - the trunk, like on all glasses of a similar design, wonderfully leaves spontaneously. You just have to come to terms with this. It would not hurt to make a latch in the extreme position for transportation; Picture: - soapy at a wide angle, but again soap only compared to the razor sharpness of the far end. Compared to other zooms, it is not bad even in its soap; - bokeh pattern, if we talk about zooms - it is conditionally satisfactory, when compared with fixes, then the most appropriate word is "blur". No more. A subjective disadvantage because it does not require aesthetics;
