    The Beast!
    5 Stars
    The Beast!
    It is uncommon that you find average review scores for a solid 5 stars ... This is one of those products that doesn't really have a fence to sit on - meaning, if you're on the fence just add this thing to your cart and don't look back.Many will shutter (or shudder, sorry, bad pun!) at the price of this lens,..., without a doubt I did. But if you're a professional or an amateur photographer (as myself) that simply want the best image possible with a wide aperture and great image stabilization, you will know after you take your first picture that every dime you spent on this lens was worth it! Tack-sharp images with great color saturation and beautiful bokeh at every focal length. As I've read somewhere, this lens will quite possibly replace every prime that you own in between the 70-200mm range. Honestly, the only one it might not be able to replace is the 85mm f/1.2L just due to its sheer insane aperture size! But in saying that, this hand-sized bazooka, I mean cannon, or Canon, also doubles as a phenomenal portrait lens - the very top of many professional must-have portrait lenses.The build quality is second-to-none, something you notice instantly as you unbox the lens - it just feels and screams quality. Lens is wicked fast to focus, to boot! While it has spent most of its time hand-held yielding great results, my photos of it attached to a tripod with mirror lock-up have been out of control, scary good. Sorry I just don't really know how to describe its effortlessness, just check out the photos I and many others have posted here for this thing.One of the common CONS (other than price) from other reviewers I found was regarding the weight - this thing after all, scales in about 1.5kg, about 3.2pounds. I attach it to a 5D3 and in total I've got about 5lbs I'm lugging around with only a hand strap (the neck straps just get in my way). While I do try to workout regularly and yet am no Arnold, I've walked around with this combination for 4-5 hours at a session and will admit that my right arm and shoulder do get a bit tired after a while. But I'll be honest, when I line up a great shot and just know that this thing will produce a 'wow' photo, like the background that this thing renders, the fatigue in the arm and shoulder just blur away smoothly. At this point, I have this lens attached so frequently that any other smaller lens just feels too light and inadequate (keep in mind that this maybe just an ego thing because you WILL draw looks and camera/lens-envy!).As I've stated at the beginning of the review, yeah, you see a ton of 5-stars out there. You see another from me and I'm not one to give them out easily. Don't take my word however, your hard-earned cash is too valuable in today's crazy world. If you are unsure about this lens and no one would blame you given its hefty price tag - rent it, determine if the range of focal lengths, aperture width, sharpness, image-stabilization capabilities, weight, and of course price are all something you can live with. Keep in mind there are 3 other variants of this focal length range that also might nicely fit your needs - they are all gems themselves from all the reviews I've read. This one does carry quite a premium however. One that I was willing/able to live with and haven't ever looked back.I used to say that my favorite lens was the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro - a simply godly lens for its performance/price consideration. After making the plunge and getting acquainted with this lens however, all I can say is "why play favorites, it's nice to have options!" If you come to the decision and I know it can be a big one given the price of this beast, you won't ever regret it or get a case of buyer's remorse. It'll just bring a big smile to your face!Best of luck and good shooting!

    Reviewed in Mexico on December 30, 2016
    No soy fotógrafo profesional. Como indican todas las reseñas que leí antes de comprar la lente, es una excelente pieza para tu equipo fotográfico. El bokeh que logras es increíble, la nitidez de la imagen es magnífica. Acabo de tomar unas fotos de aeromodelismo y el auto enfoque funciona rapidísimo. Como dije en el título de mi comentario, por el precio, no puedes pedir menos. Mi única posible queja es el peso. Pero por tanto cristal que tiene la lente dentro, esto es comprensible. No es una lente para situaciones de poca luz. En mi caso, tengo que aumentar la ISO muchísimo para poder hacer tomas oscuras sin flash. La utilizo con una Canon 7D. Utilizo esta lente para tomas de retratos que separan el fondo del sujeto para un fondo borroso (bokeh) genial.
