    Update: 12/31/11------------------------------------------------------------------------I owe it to this lens to post an update after taking 100s of pictures with it.I've observed that the slower aperture does not matter much to getting sharp pictures with this lens in a practical sense for two reasons,i. it is just as sharp wide open as at f8.0, I can therefore shoot wide open all the time without sharpness worries. This is true at all focal lengths.ii. the image stabilization and weight of this lens help me make sharp hand-held shotsCheck out the image i've posted of the state capital bldg, shot handheld on a freezing, windy night on a T2i.Original Review--------------------------------------------------------------------------I bought this on Amazon earlier this year for an overseas trip. I needed a good lens to take pictures of some very special people and a beautiful place. I took ~500 pictures with this lens and it never let me down. At 15mm I was able to take beautiful indoor groups of people from angles imposible with the 18-55 kit lens.Most pictures in taken in good light were very sharp (on a T2i), the contrast was very good at all focal lengths. This lens is plenty sharp at 85mm. Under some indoors conditions, 100% crops at 85mm with this lens were nicer overall than with the 55 - 250 IS.Pros.AF is very reliable and fast.A very useful zoom range - esp the wide 15mm, which is great for indoors.Good portraits at 85mm with moderate BG blur.The best corner sharpness I've seen on an EF-S lens.Sharpness was not very sensitive to aperture - set camera on "P" mode and shoot worry-free.Very good color reproduction and contrast - distant foliage in landscapes is very well resolved.The LEAST chromatic aberration i've seen in an EF-S lens (this contributes to the good sharpness)Image stabilization is good.Overall build quality is very good.Excellent for DSLR video - the quiet USM focusing & manual override helps.Cons.Not very fast for low light indoors - I used a bounce flash so it was no problem for me.A small amount of distortion in the corners at 15mm, this is not apparent for near objects and only for objects far away such as in landscapes.This is a near-perfect lens for people who love taking pictures of family, vacations, events, hiking etc.

    Pros.
    AF is very reliable and fast.
    A very useful zoom range - esp the wide 15mm, which is great for indoors.
    Good portraits at 85mm with moderate BG blur.
    The best corner sharpness I've seen on an EF-S lens.
    Sharpness was not very sensitive to aperture - set camera on "P" mode and shoot worry-free.
    Very good color reproduction and contrast - distant foliage in landscapes is very well resolved.
    The LEAST chromatic aberration i've seen in an EF-S lens (this contributes to the good sharpness)
    Image stabilization is good.
    Overall build quality is very good.
    Excellent for DSLR video - the quiet USM focusing & manual override helps.

    Cons.
    Not very fast for low light indoors - I used a bounce flash so it was no problem for me.
    A small amount of distortion in the corners at 15mm, this is not apparent for near objects and only for objects far away such as in landscapes.

    This is a near-perfect lens for people who love taking pictures of family, vacations, events, hiking etc.
