We're into photographing vessels up and around the river Scheldt and used an 24-105F4L and an 70-200F4L (sometimes with the 1.4 MK2 extender) but got tired of changing lenses and the dust in my 5D (which really attracts dust) and ran into a second-hand version of this lens.
Took my changes and replaced the 70-200 with this one and never took it off. It's sharp (atleast as sharp as my 70-200) all the way. Distortion on the edges is in my opinion not as bad as with the 24-105L although I never go below F8.
If you buy it new it's a pricy thing but imho worth every penny!
The pumpzoom instead of the twist zoom is something you hate or love. I wasn't to happy with it but it's a mather of getting used to it.
