It's not an L that's for sure. And no it does not get real sharp. I think it might be OK at macro distances. It may be the lens that was responsible for the phrase "Canon veil of grey" used to describe the look of Canon images at one time.
I got one of those with a 40D. I can't say that I was ever able to get an image out of it that held a candle to the worst images I've captured with L lenses. I can understand why the thieves at Scott's house left it behind.
But like everything on the interweb, including slugs and snails, it has a following. And it probably was a good lens on film. But film is not digital.
I agree. My first canon was a 40d refurb with that lens and I had to return it it was just not sharp at all. I got the second camera with a 70-200mm f4L and what a difference! : )
