This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 4.6oz. Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.

"Bottom line, this lens is worth your money. Canons sharpest, fastest, etc? Not by far but for the price and what you get it does the job fantastically well.

Autofocus motor IS noisy, but the focus isnt' that slow. It hunts at night so focus with flash then put it back into manual.
