I have fallen in love with this lens. Used it for the very first time last weekend, with the 1.4x II, and I am very impressed. It's incredibly sharp, and I have not even tried this lens without a TC yet. IS is first-rate and bokeh is commendable.
I'll start with these 4 images. I would love to see what others have done with this lens, and I am sure other owners would love that too, so please post your best photos from this lens.

A great set of images there Bobby. They're all very nicely framed and composed too.

I love this lens too. I've had it about 2 months, with 99% of my shots above ISO3200 (ice hockey). It is so much sharper than the non-IS version I had been using, and I'm convinced the AF is better as well.
I have been wanting to get a good shot of a flicker for years now, but they are normally so skittish that I can't get anywhere close enough with my longest lens, a 100-400. But it's been a rough winter, and this guy found the suet feeder hanging off my house. Taken through a low-E kitchen window using my 7D:

Hey Bobby,
Nice photos, you owe me coffee for testing the lens for you
Did you also use your 300L for the shoot, or only 70-200+1.4TC ?
I am just curious since your profile shows that you have the 300L.

Hung - yes, I owe you one - thanks for selling this lens to me.
I did have the 300/2.8L but I sold it ... fearing it's value will fall when Canon releases the Mk II ... but it's now looking like the value of the old lens will hold. I shot these only with the 70-200 lens with the 1.4 TC attached. I may superglue the TC to this lens since it works so well.

Focuses fast and tracks well, even with a TC.

The IS is much improved. This one is handheld a 1/20.

I wonder if it is the same Cormorant. Here's a shot that I took 6 years ago. Same rock and same pose, different lens.

I swear that I spend just as much time admiring the lens itself as I do using it. It's just so rare to encounter this kind of build quality in -anything- any more. It's such a great piece.
