Great all-purpose lens

Re: Great all-purpose lens

Its a good lens. But not a great lens. Not worth 5/5 stars. Thats a crazy rating. Perhaps the OP doesn't have enough experience with good lenses.

The lens is very sharp from 70-85mm. I also find 15mm to be good enough. However the corners are NOT sharp enough. Distortions, vignetting & CAs are correctible but there is some loss of IQ.

If the lens is priced @500$, I would say its appropriate. Canon somehow got the pricing wrong for this lens.
