Re: one of canon's most lackluster primes.....

Same here. I replaced my 28/1.8 with the IS which I got for $400 and like it much better.

Do you miss the extra stop? I've got a 2.8 zoom and enjoy the 1.8 for extra stop and a third and its ability to do what my 2.8 can't do. I also think the fact that most 2.8s need to be stopped down a bit for good sharpness argues for the value of the 1.8. By 2.2, I'm more than satisfied.
