Re: Perfect walk around lens.

I love the focal length but if someone is reading this and plans to get one be sure to check it out carefully during the return period, especially since the lens is slow enough that I shot with mine wide open or close to it 90% of the time. Mine also front focuses (and my crop cameras do not have MFA), and it's just not sharp in general. In fact, the kit lens that came with my SL1 is now my main travel lens because it's actually sharper than my 2010 vintage 15-85.

So, not all copies are great.
