Practical product, nothing to complain about.

Take it like a whale. Attracted: the range of focal lengths, the presence of a stub, USM.
I have been using it for 2 years, no dust inside - it saves the protective filter (I installed it immediately upon purchase). On the FR range of 35-85, the sharpness is quite decent. But a wide angle is also needed - it's cool to shoot cars at close range :-)
If not aperture - a very good lens .

Pros

- Instant, tenacious autofocus. Works even in the dark(!) - Good stub. If you contrive, you can shoot a night landscape :) - Well-chosen FR range. - Reliable design. - Good color rendering.

Cons

- Aperture (I would like, like the Canon EF 24-85 f / 3.5-4.5). - Distortion in the range of 17-24 (suggests: is it not an advertising ploy? After all, there is a lens 24-85). - Lack of a hood in the kit (without it, it does not hold the oncoming light well).
