The greatest is a pretty bold tag to give any lens I think. Sure, what it does, it does really well, but will it preform in a dimly lit gym with no flash? Will it do 1:1 macro? Ect, ect.

That said, it is a great lens.

I agree, I have only used it twice but have really taken a liking to the lens. It's next on my wish list.

Not sure why, but call me JJ.
