Excellent lens to the Canon lineup and I must say one of the sharpest lenses I've ever had the opportunity to use period. The new formula Canon has used for this lens makes the images very sharp and the image crops are amazing to look at. About the only thing getting use to is the heaviness of the lens. Some owners of the 1st edition will have a difficult justifying the current jump in price to its current $2500 price tag. If you're quite content with the first version, I say stay with it for the time being and wait for the lens to come down in price over the course of the next year.
What's great about it: Superb image quality (crops are still amazingly clear), very fast AF, IS is as advertised and better than the Mark I
What's not so great: Hefty piece of glass...some may have difficulty the jump in price from the Mark I
