Best crop lens there is.  And you pay dearly for it. Dust issues are overstated. I had no issues with dust. It is a big heavy for that range but you won't find a sharper EF-S lens. You'll miss out on extended reach but gain f/2.8 (which I shot with 99.9% of the time). Then again, prime lenses can be had cheaper such as the 85 1.8, 50 1.4. But that adds the time to take changes. So I guess what I'm saying is I have no idea what to tell you.
