My favorite lens, for sure. It gets a lot of comments about being "too long" that I don't really get. It all depends upon what you are trying to do, on 35mm it's a good head/shoulders to 1/2 lens for indoors, and you can do full body with it, but you do need space.

The IS thing doesn't bother me, seems like we are a bit spoiled, fast primes with IS is a quite new idea. The weather sealing would be nice though, and rounded aperture blades would be nice in an update. Only trouble will be if they update it...it'll be super expensive, I'm sure.
