Re: Amazing lens, excellent for the money!

I have recently borrowed this lens from a friend to use for some basketball shooting.  I am shooting it on a 7DII.  Worked great for basketball most of the time if you keep your shooting so that they don't get too close to you.  Nice to have a wider aperture than f2.8 for the high school gyms.  I don't always shoot wide open but at f2.0 or f2.2

I have found this lens to be super sharp in general.  I was surprised at how nice the shots were of everyday stuff around the house.  I might have to get one of my own.  Now with the RF version out, there probably will not be a updated version of this lens.
