You won't find better for this money. Don't let the lack of USM scare you. Focus fast - allows you to take a picture of a moving vehicle / person. For filming swallows flying by, he, of course, will not fit. If you have a reserve of money for the L model, then there is nothing to think about. You can see photos taken with this lens and a canon 450d camera on my page (in popular ones).
