The editors didn't like
In some situations is has strong flare
Weak performance against bright light
Bothersome moustache distortion at the wide angle
Some problems related to spherical aberration
Noticeable vignetting on full frame.
Heavy distortion and noticeable vignette at wide angles
Very soft edges at longer focal lengths
Pricey
I wish Canon put even more innovation into it
Heavy vignette
Shows some distortion
Expensive for a zoom lens
Minor barrelling and pincushioning
Very minor fringing
Lacking wide-angle on cropped bodies
Relatively expensive
Fringing visible even on cropped-frame
Less compelling if youre not going full-frame.
Relatively expensive (at list price)
Corners slightly soft at telephoto end
24-70 f/2.8L has better build and focusing
17-40mm f/4L an affordable alternative
Slight vignetting in the corners of images at the minimum focal length of 24mm
