I did read about this one a few years ago and saw some favourable reports of its performance saying it was better than the other non-L zooms but I haven't been able to find anything at all about it when I searched today. Can anyone who has used it give me any info about its optical performance? > > Joe B.
Hi Joe I owned one a few years ago. Having used non-L and L zooms, I can say that that it's the best non-L zoom I've ever used! Definitely a crank above the rest. If you stop down to f/8 you will get L Series optical quality! However, it's an old zoom (1990) and focusing isn't has fast and silent as today's zooms. The only reason why I sold mine, was because I bought the 28-70L. . It is a shame that canon never made another non-L zoom of the same optical quality. In the second-hand market it is one of the best deals available.
