These things usually go for $600+, so I would buy in a heartbeat if I hadn't just bought the 24-70 II :'(

I still want a fast, sturdy, high optical quality 28mm lens at some point.

Here you go. Problem solved.
c3hammer said:I have the 24mm f/2.8 IS and it is a stellar lens. The image rivals my 24mm f/1.4 L II easily and for video on a stabilizer it is second to none for Canon video enabled DSLR bodies. It has relegated the 24 L II to night time time lapse and and low light HDR work.
If I was using full frame mostly, I'd jump on that 28mm IS in a second. The image quality is simply incredible if my experience with the 24mm IS is anything to go by.

Yup, I don't think I could have resisted more than another few hours ;D

Now, the 35/2 IS for $399 would have been another story...

Why so?
Optically it appears to be a very good lens. If the offer had been in the UK I would have been reaching for my credit card.

Pi said:Too slow for a prime; it seems (because I have not tried it) to lack the clarity of the L primes based on the TDP comparisons. It has IS, indeed, but so does my 24-105 with 1 stop difference. Two stop faster, and I would jump on it.
