Query: Great Lens

When I bought this lens, I was looking for a lens that would deliver images superior to those from the kit lens that came with my (Original) Digital Rebel. I am completely satisfied with the purchase. I have since upgraded to a 40D, and the combination is wonderful. I was, perhaps, a little underwhelmed by this lens at first: images didn't appear that drastically different from the kit lens. But after having spent half a year with this lens, and really getting to know it, there is no way I would switch back. This lens delivers much sharper images and the colors are phenomenal.In short, if you are looking to upgrade from that cheap kit lens and you want a taste of the L flavor, don't hesitate to pull the trigger on this one unless you have the money and can afford something better like the 16-35 f/2.8L.
