Pros: professional quality, fast, durable, incredible quality shots Cons: heavy, expensive The Bottom Line: Whether you are an amateur or a professional who has a need for a telephoto zoom, this is the answer. Review: I purchased this lens in February of 2008 and have been shooting with it ever since. from Shopping.com I have used this lens for 2 1/2 solid years at Motorcycle Racing Events, this lens has been banged and dropped in the mud, snow and more. I have never had a problem with this lens, the Auto focus is still as fast as it was when it was new. from Amazon.com Although expensive, this an excellent lens with terrific clarity, speed and image stabilization. Highly recommended for any serious Canon photographer. from Amazon.com I received this lens as an engagement gift from my fiance's father. I'm currently using it on my Rebel XTi, with the EF-S 17-85 as my standard zoom lens. from Amazon.com There are many other reviews to this wonderful lens and I can't add too much on the technical issues. This is an upgrade to the Canon 70-200 f4. from Amazon.com does not zoom as much as I would have hoped, but I have been able to take some great picures I would have otherwise missed from Amazon.com As the owner of a 24-105/f4 and 70-200/f4, I was well aware of the quality of the "L" class of lenses from Canon. Although heavier than the f4 version of this fine zoom, the wider aperture enables better low-light performance, and the bokeh is great, too. from Amazon.com a great companion for the 100-400LCanon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras miss the IS but a monopod is a great help. the f/2.8 is worth the extra $ in added light on a subject. from Amazon.com Don't bother with IS - but DO bother with 2.8 - I can't imagine shooting with anything smaller than 2.8 now. This lens is incredible - and everyone thinks you're a pro before you've even taken a shot! from Amazon.com I bought this lens just about a month ago after an endorsement from one of the teachers at a photography class I was taking. (The fact that I was taking an introductory photography class should give you some sense of my skill level, and hence perspective...) I'd previously purchased and returned the 300M L, for both quality and usability issues. from Amazon.com
