Re: Great all-purpose lens

Cannot agree on the 5/5 rating.

Good things -> Good IS. Well built. Sharpness is quite good from 70-85mm range. 15mm is wide. Faster AF.

Bad things -> Too much distortion & CA. Yes can be corrected through post processing. Zoom creep. And lot of copies had decentering. Corners are definitely not as sharp as the 17-55mm f2.8. And SLOW.

Its a 450-500$ lens & really not worth the premium price.

I have taken some excellent shots with this lens but that does not stop me from saying that this lens is over priced.
