bottom line: it really is the best standard zoom for APS-C Canon, and the optics designed in the age of 8Mpix bodies is still magic on 24Mpix bodies, which is quite a feat. if you're OK with the size/weight, then it is an amazing combo with modern 7D/xxD body

This has been well known since 2006. It has long been considered that it should have been designated an L lens except for sealing and being EF-s. It was discussed heavily over a decade ago, I'm surprised it's not well understood now.
