It's a very nice lens. Accurate and very sharp. I love it as my every day street photography default lens. The only one thing which disappoint me - Canon doesn't provide lens hood for this lens. Original price of this lens was around $[*]. Now it's $[*]0 and no Lens Hood? Of course you can buy it separately for almost $60 which is ridiculous to pay $[*] for a lens and then extra 60 for a piece of plastic which should come with it by default. It's like buying a lens without front and rear cap. SMH Canon Fail! I had my doubts about this lens first - since it is my first non-L lens. And usually Canon non-L lenses are very plastic and cheap. But this lens feels solid - not as solid as Zeiss 35 Distagon all metal tanks, but still very solid, nice round bokeh, smooth focusing ring.

I would be surprised if Canon actually included a lens hood with this lens. most if not all None-L Canon lens doesn't come with lens hood, I wouldn't expect anything different on this, oh, it doesn't come with a soft lens carrying pouch either, that's why I refused to buy this lens. LOL.
