Product Description

This new lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done - replace the previous L-series 28-70 f/2.8 lens with something even better. Extended coverage to an ultra-wide angle 24mm makes it ideal for digital as well as film shooters, and the optics are even better than before with two Aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element. It's now sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, and a new processing unit makes the AF faster than ever. Zoom System - Rotating type Filter Size - 77mm Max.

As good as a lens gets! by .. Kevin J. Kidder (Southern California)
This lens is the gold standard that every other lens is compared to.

Read any review (other than the previously posted one) and you will see that this is the perfect lens.
I gave the "portability" 4 stars only because 16 elements is going to be a little on the heavy side!

This is a must have lens in any camera bag, if you are serious about your photography

DO NOT BUY! by .. ED F (Miami Lakes, FL)
Extremely disappointed with this lens. Poor focus after 15', Images never sharp under any condition . Not at all what you would expect from an L series. Lots of $$$$ poor performance. Working on third copy. Unfortunately did not get chance to evaluate prior to warranty running out.

CAUTION!!!!
PS Also failed to research product reviews until too late, my bad, Better luck to all!
