One of the best hand holdable lenses that Canon produces by far. I primarily use it to shoot portraits, detailed landscapes and also wildlife photography with Canon 1.4x and 2.0x III extenders. Decided to get this lens over the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 II primary for the quality and character of images it renders at f2.0 and the fact it's better matched with the 2x extender.
