Great walk-around lens. I'm was always challenged when selecting a lens to carry around. This one has it all - near wide to telephoto. Found that I'm using it more than ever. Weight isn't too bad - I'm used to other telephotos. Image quality has been great so far. Very pleased with this 7 year old lens. Picked up a mint copy from a local guy who wasn't using it at all.

Had my reservations about getting this lens instead of the IS version. However, I've managed to hold this well balanced lens steady. It's rapidly becoming my favorite.
The f/2.8 allows me to control DOF much better than my 100-400. So much in fact, I may end up divesting it. I took test photos at up to 4 seconds, and each was spot on sharp.
I really love this lens! No regrets whatsoever. It's added another dimension to my photography.

I sold my 10-22mm when I upgraded to a 5D. It was a pretty even trade cost wise.
The image quality produced by this lens is outstanding. The copy I have is very sharp, even wide open. Color rendition is exceptional.
The lens feels really good on a 5D. I find myself reaching for it more and more.

I was contemplating the Sigma 50-500, which I've owned before. This lens is much better, both in quality and features. The IS really is a plus. Fast focus (much faster than the 50-500). It is helpful that the filter size is same as my 28-70 so I can interchange polarizers, etc.
I keep a quick mount on the lens so I can install quickly on my Bogen tripod head.
