Fantastic Lens !!!
I purchased this lens about 2 months ago. It is probably one of the best lenses that I have ever used. The cost comparison of the Canon is a no brainer. The quality and build is superb. Picture quality is even better. I used the lens at my son's soccer game in low light and it was fantastic.
