| Pros | Fast, light, great bokeh, reasonable price, lovely color, low chromatic aberration, decent build, excellent glass |
| Cons | Not as good quality build as L lenses, some don't like the focusing ring. |
| Bottom Line | Buy this if you can afford it and have an EF compatible mount. It's so good your camera body will thank you for the rest of its life. |

| Bottom Line | I have to give this lens five stars because I love the pictures I get from this lens- my subjects pop while leaving the background beautifully blurred. |

| Pros | Very Sharp. Very Fast. Sturdy Enough. Excellent Brokeh. Versatile. Unlikely to outgrow as you upgrade. |
| Cons | Costly - I may not take it on certain adventures. Barrel-distortion in fullframe cams. |
