If you know what you are shooting the lens will never miss focus.

This lens it known to have frontfocus on many Rebel bodies in the WA range; quite annoying. And this is not 'operator error' and also occurs with center point focus. If you only do people shots (and not infinity subjects like landscape/architecture) and f/8 or so you probably won't notice, but it is problem to be aware of if you use a Rebel and want sharp images.

Finally, it is big and looks sexy, especially with the native hood.

I get it, that's what we buy cameras and lenses for; I won't go into details about people who are afraid of using 'inadequate' small and light lenses ...
