writer/director

I'm an award-winning writer/director. I also do a bit of producing, editing, and shooting - I believe in being as versatile as possible in our increasingly-digital world. I'm based in the Midwest, I love playing complicated board games, I drink a lot of chocolate stout, and I eat a lot of pizza.

It doesn't appear to feature any sort of in-lens stabilization, Baptiste.

Me either, before reading Jay's findings. Then again (per Michael Carney's response below) several other manufacturers are outperforming Canon recently. I've become a huge fan of the Sigma art line, for example.

Of course this is just pontification, not observation. From the other aftermarket EF lenses I've used/owned, I have noticed the ones with better builds indeed have AF louder and deeper in tone. Obviously I wouldn't know for sure until I got my hands on one.
