Photographers who shoot a lot at close focus distances;

Absolutely love this lens! Perfect for shooting wedding ceremonies in tight spaces that I need the wider angle but can also zoom in closer for the detail shots without changing my lens. I had the 24-105 f/4, and the f/2.8 with this lens is a game changer!

While photo enthusiasts suffer in the throes of GAS (gear acquisition syndrome)-endlessly buying hot new cameras and lenses, reselling them, and buying the next cool thing-professional photographers stick with what works.

I'm always a little nervous to order items like this online for delivery, since I've had a couple of things turn up broken or damaged. Amazon has been great in the past at refunding or discounting those items but there's always a worry that they'll change their attitude.
