got this lens thinking Canon usually makes small improvements with each newer version, got it at a healthy discount when buying a new 70D from BH Photo and am very impressed and pleased with it.

much greater sharpness and clarity than non-STM version, it is like a completely different lens. have only done stills so far, no video, but am very happy with the clear, sharp image results.

Yes, I find it pretty impressive for a low priced zoom in this range, especially for the $163 that I paid for it after the $150 off with the SL1. It's certainly much better than my old Canon 100-300.
