Would recommend this lens to Full Frame and Crop Sensor photographers alike
This is a fantastic lens. The USM, is super fast and whisper quiet, makes focusing a breeze. I find it especially helpful, as I wear glasses. Regular autofocus is to slow and cumbersome in many situations, and my eyesight is not good enough to be able to focus manually.

This is a beautiful lens. Fast, quiet and incredibly built. Great for landscapes or large groups at a wedding.
Light gathering and Quick !
Bought this lens for low light photos at family events. This is a very fast focusing lens and seems to gather light from almost nowhere. I have used it to take pictures in doors where there was nearly no light and was astonished at the performance.

Why did I wait so long? Who knew?!?
I have several L lenses. They are so heavy and I am paranoid about knocking them out of alignment. I read how much people loved this lens for landscape and interior shots. I bought two used and they were dogs. So I popped for a new one. I am so happy with it.
Love this lens!
Loads of fun on a full frame sensor. F/2.8 makes for a bright viewfinder and great for astrophotography as well in low light settings. Very fast AF, and rather accurate in low light. Excellent construction - weather sealed, smooth and perfect weight.
Excellent lens and good value

Superb!
Brilliant lens. Fast, silent and very wide. Not had proper chance to use it to full potential but shows great promise. Surprised Very don't sell appropriate 82mm filter size given that they sell products that need them. They sell other sizes. Great service as usual though.
A Wonderful Engineered Product
It is hard to expand upon the positive reviews others have said. This lens adds great versatility to the range of pictures I am able to capture. It complements by EF 24-70mm f2.8 that I have used for years. It is well engineered.
