Pros:

Fantastic value for $$
500mm reach
Surprised by capabilities

Heavy (but that goes without saying and is actually not too bad with the lens strap on)
|

I am very pleasantly surprised with this lens in terms of performance in a variety of situations and would not hesitate to recommend it if you are looking for reach, but don't want to pay Canon L lens prices (for me, it was an obvious choice because I live in the middle of the city and don't often require such a long lens, so the $ savings can be allocated to other lenses)
