If it's priced cheap, then it might have a chance. If it's 1K+ then why deviate from a "L?"

Well generally the Tamron lenses are a few hundred dollars cheaper which will place this f/2.8 ZOOM in buying buying range for some. Given the lens has no competition from nikon or canon with the image stabilization feature this lens presents, it may be a great alternative if you're not married to the "L-line". Plus, it's universal(canon/nikon).
Just a wedding photographer.

Too bad the Canon 24-70mm II F/2.8 L didn't come with IS. :/
