Great job Canon! Now please give us a 20mm, 24mm, 50mm and 85mm with exactly those kind of specs :)

Gordon has his review up already, apparently this lens outperformed the venerable EF 35 1.4L II in his tests, which is saying something.

Yeah, it beats the hell out of it according to Gordon's tests. Still curious about what Christopher Frost will say.

Cheaper, lighter, better for video, good weather sealing and build quality (supposedly) --- what's the catch?
