highly recommended, some focus shift though. what do you think?

About the review or about the lens?

I found it interesting that he demonstrates the focus shift effectively but doesn't mention it anymore. Seems not a big deal for him. Maybe I should test this, too, since I got the lens. Still very weird that Canon didn't implement an auto correction for this - should be easy to do.

I have to say that the autofocus is a joy to use, much faster than anything I have used before, like Sigma 105mms or the EF 100 L. These lenses do offer similar image quality for a much lower price, though.

And yeah, the CA control is just very weird, and I have yet to see anyone who really uses this creatively. Seems that virtually everyone just locks the ring up and forgets about it. I wonder how much smaller and more affordable the lens would be without that... probably not that much.
