I have not tried it - but it has an excellent reputation. It is too

big/heavy/expensive/short-range/slow for my tastes, though...;-)

If it were an excellent-wide-open 28-70mm f2 or 24-105 f2.8,

it might be more interesting - otherwise, slower zooms work well

in bright light, and light/small/inexpensive/excellent non-zooms

work well for low-light interiors...
