An almost perfect lens...

Considering Canon didn't add the red ring to this lens, it almost perfect for the price point. It's among the sharpest lens in my collection, definitely my goto lens for portrait work. If you want to know more about what I have to say about this lens then check out my Youtube review.

Ditto.

I can live with the occasional chromatic aberration, easily removed in post processing. If it wasn't such an internal dust magnet it would be perfect.

Perhaps the rumored updated version will come with better sealing as well as IS.
