Glad to hear you like it!
What were you using previously?
since my Nikon conversion
adamus said:i picked one up in the jessops fiaso, and i got a complete lemon. soft all the way to f2.8 (and i mean really soft) and then never really sharp.
Took it back last week and they swapped in on the spot and the new one is perfect, cracking little lens! sharp from 1.8, usable at 1.4 but a bit creamy, great bokeh, quick focus... lovely

Well just picked up a Canon 5D2 so using it with that. Before this I was using the kit lens (17-55) with a 1000D
lol
I hope you mean a 18-55 and not the 17-55IS f/2.8 as thats an outstanding lens ;-):
Ha! Yes, the 18-55 Not bad for a starting lens on the 1000D, but not compatible with the 5d, let alone any good on it... lol
I love how canon users go potty about the nifty fifty. Shows how awful the 18-55 is

honestly, it is. You could take your grannies specs, a loo roll and some gaffer tape and make a better lens than the canon 18-55. It's frankly shameful that a quality company puts out such a poor effort when the rest of it's lenses are pretty damn good.

to be fair to Canon, the IS version is much improved. If you have this one, then it's the right quality at the right price. Was more talking about the old I or II
Still, canonies are so easy to wind up
Well ill agree with you about the first version. Terrible lens.
I don think anyone is getting wound up as such, its pretty obvious from your sig your a Nikon user and we all know how they think so it more to try and educate you than try and reason
