Does anybody own this lens? I know Canon used to make it, the fastest lens they ever made, but discontinued it a long time ago.

The reason I ask is that I remember reading a review in one of the mainstream photo magazines about two years ago, yet it seems to have been discontinued long before that.

If you do own it, what are your thoughts on it?

An ultra-fast standard lens with the largest aperture for SLR lenses in the world at the time. Two large-diameter ground and polished glass aspherical lens elements (3rd & 8th) provide high-contrast with low-flare image quality even at maximum aperture. Curvature of field is minimized through use of four high-refraction glass elements. Spherical aberration and curvature of field at close focusing distance are minimized by floating mechanism. A ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor) achieves silent, high-speed AF and full-time manual focusing.
