Title: Piece of Crap
Review: I bought this lens tempted by Amazon's price drop on it. I have to respectfully disagree with other comments that compare this lens with the L line. Just out of the box I could feel the cheap construction, mostly made of cheap plastic. The focusing ring feels inaccurate and loose, with a short play before it takes action. I returned this lens immediately. I wish Canon was more straightforward about informing customers that everything that is not an L line lens (although some L zoom lens may be questionable too) is just hopeless toys for the unaware or under demanding amateur. Serious photographers beware. This lens is NOT an upgrade from the already crappy (but at least justifiable for the price) EF 50mm 1.8 it's the same type of construction and it is not worth around [...] at all. Honest and reputable retailers must receive a lot of heat and returns of this lens from unsatisfied customers. Don't do it. Save your money for the EF 1.2 L.
