I tried this lens last week on 7D2, I am not going to discuss image quality Klaus did an excellent job already.
The question is does this lens make sense ?
it was a joy to use except for two major things: size and weight...it's really heavy, Canon 17-55f2.8 is much lighter and shorter in comparison !!!!
In Fuji mount for instance it would take practically same space in bag and have the same weight as 18mmf2 plus 23mmf2 plus 35mmf2....
So my humble opinion: if you are doing video and want to zoom while shooting, it's a must have, an awesome lens by all means. however for photography a more compact and better range 18-50 would make much more sense
