Canon 8014a003aa

Large f/2.8 aperture through range & included lens hood & soft case. Built like a tank.

Big & heavy and lens hood makes it tricky to rotate a polarizing filter.

Build Quality Image Quality Superb Came with a lens hood already in the box

Quite a Heavy Lens but you get what you pay for. (Canon have updated this lens now and the cost is around twice as much - so this is an excellent alternative).

Wow what a lens...did not expect it to be this good.

Very heavy, Very expensive i could see the weight being a problem in the field.

Fast, very sharp image

Bit heavy

If you can get a "Good" copy of this lens then you will be delighted with it. I wouldve thought that in 2011 Canon shouldve sorted out the softness issues of this lens. As a rough guide, this is my third. No problems at all with Jessops changing it,...

Almost as good as using a prime lens!

None, but if you can think of one then it may not be the right tool for you! :)

Only good points

EF L no 1 in your bag

heavy + as usual price

Super sharp images with the usual high build quality you would expect from this Canon L Lens.

The price, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Everything I expected.
