Cons: open a bit too soft macro not so great
Pros: From f 5.6 very good, from f 8 also in the corners used on full-frame - ideal for travelling not too heavy nice match to the 5Diii (with automatic lens correction) if your lucky you can get this one under 50 bugs
Summary: I bought mine in a set with a old Canon EOS 500 for under 50 bugs - with the set also came an Exacta tele lens which I might be able to sell again for 20 bugs.... Anyway, I am using a rather much used 5D Mark iii and when using the available in camera lens correction this old lens becomes as good as it can get - from f 5.6 - not matter wide or tele - it works great and can even keep up with my 50mm 1.8 STM - I first didn\'t believe it - but it was so good that I thought I had mixed up my test shots. So now I have a 5D iii with a 28-105mm lens for under 600 bugs and am very happy. I give it the full 5 points for the optical quality because it is such a great bargain. Build is also very good, autofocus fast, very quiet and exact. Only thing I didn\'t like so far was my close-up shots - there my 50mm STM shines - might have to try that again with tripod.

Cons: No IS Quite some CA (correctable) Not wide enough on APS-C for inside shots Newest high resolution sensors will require sharper glass
Pros: Good reach on APS-C Fast, silent and precise Autofocus with USM Relatively lightweight (compared to 15-85) Decent optical quality, maybe not sharp enough for the newest 18Mpix APS-C sensors
Summary: This is a lens I have taken over from my 1994 EOS 5 film camera. On my 450D (XSi), it does serve me well as walkaround lens during my hikes in the nature, where it gives me twice the reach compared to the 18-55 kit lens. I wouldn’t buy one new, rather take the 15-85 instead.
