I bought this lens mostly for indoor and product photography. While I still use a prime for a lot of product shots, this has since become my "go overywhere" lens. Pros: sturdy construction, sharp, very little distortion, good in low light, great for DLSR video. A clever push-pull focus ring can be disengaged in Auto Focus so it doesn't spin. Cons: auto focus slower than on Canon lenses, zoom ring heavy and a bit too close to the camera body. Overall: for the price you can't beat it. It's a quality lens that produces good, sharp pictures on par with much more expensive lenses. Things to consider though (based on personal preferences these may or may not bother you) the zoom and focus rings turn opposite to Canon lenses, the slow/noisy auto focus my be an issue to some and finally the lens is quite sensitive to light flare so you have to pay attention when composing your shot.Read full review
This lens blows my mind with it's speed and great shallow depth of field. it is pretty heavy but works flawlessly .. I have been fighting over getting the sigma against the canon 24-70mm 2.8 lens for price this is much better. first of all this is an 82mm against canons 77mm thats a big difference when it comes to letting light in . If you can get your hands on one of these babies i sternly recommend it
