I bought the Promaster labeled version of the lens.
I compared it to a Canon 17-40L and could not find enough difference between the two to justify the price difference. Besides the Canon is only an f4.
I also tried it with a Tamron 1.4x tc behind and beside homeplate, worked extremely well very little IQ loss.
This lens beats my 50/1.8 all to heck.

Padding, Sholder strap, Holds a lot,

Cons:

Haven,t found any

Shoulder strap is excellent does not slip,holds a 30D with a 70-200L attached. Holds 3 other lenses with room for lots more.
The Pro Mag2 replaced a Tamrac Velocity 9 (2 months old) much heavier padding. Easy to get the camera with the 70-200 in and out on my shoulder.
