Very impressed! Lots of detail and great bokeh. I agree with the other reviewers that this lens is very sharp (similar to the 135mm f/2, but in a much more portable form factor), and the soft focus feature can add an artistic effect with hit/miss experiences. Here's my advice on the soft focus, because it can actually produce really nice effects- Set it in between regular and 1 at around 1/4 or 1/2 (there's not click stop for these settings). What you'll find is that it adds an effect like the Black Pro Mist 1/8 and 1/4 filters! Pretty awesome to have it conveniently built into the lens. Definitely recommend from a 5DSR to the 5D classic. It's a winner on full frame DSLRs. Also, regarding the autofocus sound, mine only makes a swishing sound like the 200mm f/2.8L lens does. The sound is no big deal at all. Despite having a micro motor, it's not louder like the 50mm f/1.8 mark 1 or the 35mm f/2. Give it a try!Read full review

This lens delivers. It is in great shape. I bought it to take portrait images with my Canon 5D II, and it focuses accurately, then takes primary images as sharp or soft as you choose. I shoot at 2.8, and my backgrounds are blurred (the Bokeh effect). The main subject "Pops" beautifully.

When not set for soft focus, it is one of the sharpest lenses I have. Great for portraits and a lot smaller than the 135mm f2 L lens. I use it with an adapter on a Sony 42mp Camera and it works great.

Took it on a photo walk everyone wanted to see and shoot it. The SF effect is really nice and the normal is sharper than I expeceted. It is a lens that I shoot with. Worked great on my full frame and crop sensor 5D II and 7D both loved it to my suprise it played well with my old 20d. More important I think it can still take some money shots too.......

A most interesting lens; with ability to throw the background into soft-serious hazy focus highlighting your subject! I just took it on my first trip and the results are stunning! Well worth the money to show off special people in your life!!!
