Query: Great all purpose lens

I've been shooting with this lens and my Canon T2i for about 6 months now. It's such a great all purpose lens. I have used it to shoot portraits one day, products the next and then a music video after that. I'd say I use it equally for video and stills. On the stills side the auto focus is super fast and allows me to get what I need for live events.I love the fast f/2.8 maximum aperture. Also the size and weight for this lens is spot on. It's big enough so that people know it's a professional lens even if they don't know anything about cameras and they will assume your hired for the event and get out of your way. Especially if you have the camera grip extension.Honestly with this lens and the 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens who shoots primes anymore?Buy this lens, you won't regret it.
