For those that know me, I've been complaining on dpreview about the weight of the 400mm 2.8L IS at 12#. Add a 4# camera and a 1# monopod for a 5 hour event like football... and I fount this lens staying in the cabinet too often; so I sold it to a fellow in Canada.
I tested Serial No 41xx 6 months ago and liked it. We recently bought this lens NEW, and am very pleased with the quick focus and tracking, mounted on the 1D3. This light weight lens is superb.
I'll be looking forward to acquiring Canon's new 200mm F2L IS next year when its released.
I've got some action sportsshots on our site, lots of other examples:
