I received a loan from CPS for this lens. I went to visit family for Christmas and had it on my camera the whole week, even though I had my other lenses with me. It is really a sweet lens. The AF is fast, but as I was taking pictures of fast moving children under the age of 5 most of the time, even with my camera it was difficult to nail focus on them at an f stop faster than 2. Oh, and cats, they are hard to focus on when they like to bolt away. Cats are like an addiction, they just have to be photographed. The lens is very sharp. Not sure about the benefit of IS, but maybe it really does help. I've noticed some green CA fringing.
It makes great portraits too. Although it is a tad long unless you have room to back up.
I'm a zoom guy, but these primes are pretty fun.
