Well today after long wait i got it. Ordered from Adorama.com total cost to me was 57,000 Pakistani Rupees or 712$ it is a cheap lens but due to non availability at dreaded Pakistan's official Canon dealer MBM i had to order from USA and all such imports are subject to import duty and taxes .
Intitial expression about lens is good i love sharpness of this lens. I hope focus speed was little fast but it is not too slow either. If you are L edict you will notice difference in operations of the lens they are not bad but L is tooo goood.
Here are two Portraits shot with This lens Shot wide open and converted to JPG from CR2 in DPP default settings. Canon EOS 400D hand held

ReplyDeleteBro, why do i have a feeling that the lens is very soft even around the center ? though i'm no expert in this field.. it's just my wild guess.
ReplyDeleteJag have you seen originals of these ?
ReplyDeletebecause to me lens is extremely sharp.
Hi, interesting post. I have been thinking about this topic,so thanks for blogging. I will likely be coming back to your blog. Keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteI use this lense a lot for capturing wild life and the first time I used it I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The autofocus mode is quick for those split second opportunity shots. It also does well as a macro lense so it serves a dual purpose. Did I also mention that I am just an amateur photographer? This lense is really easy to use too!
