This is the second lens I've purchased for my T2i. I don't often take a lot of shots that require this kind of zoom, so I wasn't going to drop $1400 on a lens... mostly because I don't have that money to drop, LOL. But I wanted to have a zoom lens handy. I photograph trains, mostly model trains. And I've actually found that the 50mm 2.8 Canon lens does not do what I want to do that well. The depth of field I get, when I get close in, is so shallow that I can't get the whole locomotive in focus. That's one place where I found this lens to be more useful than I would have expected. I set the camera back from the subject, zoom in, and get more DOF... This would likely be the case with other zoom lenses, though. Photographing outdoors on mostly cloudy days here in Washington State, the lens does a fine job. If I'm zooming in, it really needs a tripod in those conditions. At the wide end it's not necessary. In the end, I would buy this lens again. I have taken some outdoor shots and it's not the sharpest, especially at the zoom end. But, on the rare occasion I need the sharpest, I'll rent the $1400 lens. I do plan on purchasing a better "Standard Zoom," and for that I'm looking at the Tokina 16.5-135mm that's more of a wide angle or the Canon 28-135... but the Tokina provides a larger DOF than at Canon lens.
