Wonderful upgrade over Tamron version and 24-105 also

Focus speed is probably twice as fast as the Tamron it replaced and certainly more consistent.  A wonderful lens that can only be improved with IS for handheld video.  Pairs up wonderfully with the 70-200 IS II I have - amazing 2 lens 1-2 punch.

Of note - it does vignette a tad more than I'd have expected wide open, but the camera can correct that automatically (be sure to grab the lens profile from the EOS utility).  This doesn't matter much for raw stills, but certainly does for video.
