This lens was a nice surprise. Its very sharp but slow at the long end. I use it on a R6 which has awesome high ISO performance. I have never been a fan of the 24-105 range but this with its small size weight its a nice walk about lens.

I agree.

On a whim (I need help...) I got one refurb'd for a stupid-cheap price, and it's really impressed me. If this is the default kit lens boy, have they gotten better over time. A nice hiking lens, small and light and a useful range.

And for the IR shooters out there no inner IR LED, so it can be used at slow shutter speeds. Yay for that.

Canon's L lenses have always been good, of course. But where they've really stepped it up is in their lower cost, non L options. Great bang for the buck, especially since the slowness of the lens itself isn't as much of an impediment on newer bodies.
