The overall IQ looks good but I've only seen shots from this lens coming from Canon bodies at this point. From the shots I've seen and from what I've heard, the lens shows some pretty noticeable barrel distortion at long end, and has some CA across the board, but nothing out of the ordinary. The lens-hood is a little weird (it's a built-in, retractable sort of affair) and the front element is a bit... bulbous, shall we say, so screw-on filters are not gonna work, which bums me out, personally, in case that matters to you. Everyone seems likes the VC and all agree it's very effective.....</blockquote>
