Don't buy it, it's not what it should be.

I nearly regretted purchasing it. Only appropriate for travel when you need the most freedom possible but cannot change the lens. Additionally, the comparatively small size enhances ease and effectiveness. All the rest are defects. It's odd that "L" appears on such a lousy lens. But you have to remember that the rest of my lenses are also "L", well, fixes. Worst L I have in my bag.

Pros

Wide range of focal lengths, quick focusing, stabilizer present, good construction quality (no backlash), small size, low weight, and no backlash

Cons

strongly lathers; terrible backlight work; significant distortion. Lacks backlight retention; unsuitable for landscape photography. At 24 mm, distortion is significant and unsuitable for architecture shots. It "soaps" quite strongly on an open hole; it is not a portrait lens. In comparison to the 70-200 2.8 L II, the stabilizer performs substantially worse. Additionally, it is very noisy.
