I refer to mine as my Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Portrait lens. LOL!!! I love that lens. Images are sharp and contrasty, do not exibit flare, and I love the black finsh.

The results are great but obviously you can only use the one arpeture so that causes problems sometimes. I bought mine for £40 and recently was given £260 for it when i traded it in for my 70-200f4 L ... U cant get this lens chipped to work either so i'd spend your money on a 70-200f4L instead or the sigma equiv... Are you on CRACK!?! It gets even SHARPER when you stop it down! PREMIUM at F/8.
