I have to give this lens credit, a lot of people bad-mouth it and compare it to L glass - not a fair or accurate comparison. This is an economical telephoto lens with a decent range that performs better than expected. Undoubtedly if you can afford L glass then go for it, but this lens can hold its own, and I have used it on my 1D MkII - not a typical combo, and it has turned out some fantastic shots. For the budget photog or for someone that wants to bring along a cheap telephoto in a high-risk environment, go for it - it is still a Canon lens after all.
