It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

My first L-lens.

You can use it as a standard zoom on a crop camera, taking into account the use of flash. Take a couple of photos of people with a flash in a store and think again - do you need such sharpness? I think this is a clear overkill. Only if group photos are taken on closed apertures. As a standard zoom, I think the Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 is a better fit.

As a landscape painter - a completely different matter. This is where sharpness is needed. The angle is simply gorgeous, almost fisheye! And who prevents it from being used on a crop as a landscape painter? Nobody.

Pros

+ High sharpness; +Low vignetting; + Smooth horizon line; + Silent and lightning fast focusing; + Landscape on full-frame cameras, standard zoom on crop; dual purpose lens); + The minimum focusing distance is small; + Light;

Cons

-Covers up corners. With a suitable composition, this is not critical; - For a standard zoom, it is dark and lacks an analogue of 70-80 mm focal lengths; - L-lens price. What is this criterion in general? There are many non-L lenses that perform better and are more humanely priced;
