This is the 'kit lens' that came with my Canon 5d mk2.
Positives
Excellent build quality.
Basically sharp wide open at all focal lengths.
Excellent image stabilisation allowing me to leave the tripod at home! (most of the time)
Fast, silent, accurate, focussing.

Negatives
Quite big, and noticably expensive, not the best for street photography or other situations where you want to go undercover!

Distortion and heavy vignetting at 24mm
Depth of field control limited by maximum aperture of f4.


I highly recommend this lens for general photography or travel photography, it is very versatile and the image quality with regards to sharpness is up there with prime lenses.
