The bokeh is nice

I am an amateur and own two other lenses at this time, the 16-35/2.8 GM and the compact 28/2.This one is my new favorite lens though and I like to carry it around more than the 16-35 GM even though it is noticeably larger and heavier because it is so good at portraits at 70mm whereas the 16-35 GM is limited to 35mm which just doesn't give as good bokeh as 70mm on the 24-70 GM (of course, both wide open at 2.8).

Fantastic bokeh.
-
After all the marketing rave about bokeh of this lens I expected bokeh to be great
-
If you really want the absolute best pictures, use the wide open setting a lot (and I do for the beautiful bokeh and for low light shots without flash), and a manual focus that is usable vs unusable and don’t mind the extra size, then yes, it is
-
If you are tolerant of this lens issues (nervous bokeh and lack of corner-to-corner sharpness are the worst ones since they cannot be corrected unlike distortion
-
advantages: Sharp image, beautiful bokeh, amazing quality.drawbacks: Heavy, expensive and fragile
-
Pictures are magnificent, awesome bokeh and auto focus is all way better than the f4 lens
-
Even the bokeh is pleasant and very usable
