So you’re just doing transfer function replications (and possibly focus speed tests)? Since it’s a version II, it at least warrants a comparison to the deprecated version…

Way too much money. As someone stated before, you can buy another great lens and have money left over for vacation. Even a Zeiss 85mm which is pretty expensive by anyone’s standards is $1200. I think this new Canon lens would be reasonable for $1200 – $1500 if it’s as good as people say it is.

The review is actually going to look at the lens as a standalone, rather than comparing it to anything.

What I learned in this post: Jaron Schneider has bought a new lens.

MINDBLOWING.

Fstoppers first impressions: “Well, I guess it’s a lens? Lighter, bigger filter size, and a whole lot more expensive?”

When you do an actual review, will you have comparisons to the new Tamron as well?

To Nic Cage’s hair: Not an ad, but thanks! I have only had the lens for about 40 hours, so expect a review sometime next week as I spend more time with it.

Is 82mm becoming the new standard for “fast” zooms?

To the author: Nice advertisement!

But where’s the review?

For that I’d rather own the 50mm 1.2 and still have money for a vacation.
