THE BEST OF THE BEST This lens is amazing. Bokeh is very nice and dreamy, subjects are tack sharp. Super fast focusing even in manual mode. The only drawback is the weight. This lens is a beast. I left the tripod mount on to help keep it steady in my hands. The B+W filters are simply the best there is and they're all that I'll put in front of my lenses. The Expodisc has been fun to play with and really does help white balance. The filter removal tools were a plus and work great when removing or adding filters. This is a lens I have waited on for two years and I am not disappointed. It is simply the best that Canon has to offer. Believe the hype!
I'll be sending back looking for a replacement I'm having a problem with the lens... Something is happening to the image when I'm trying to take a picture. The image walks or a warning comes on the back screen saying there is a problem with the lens reading the camera. I have a 3.5 70-300 that I used at an afternoon game it worked fine. My 50mm worked fine and when I used my friends 2.8 70/200 the camera worked fine.
Fantastic lens, but bulky Everyone knows this lens - it's one of the ones Canon users drool over and say "someday." I found one in great shape, for a great price, and got lucky. It's not for everything though. It's not a "walking around" lens. It's way too heavy for that. I often bring it along in a backpack, and that's not too bad. Carrying it around on the camera gets tiring very quickly though. Functionally, it's great. Sharp, fast, tough. It's even been good at things I didn't expect - like getting close ups of small things. It's not a macro lens, of course, but it does a nice job. It excels at action sequences like sports and wildlife, and it's good in low light. I've shot concerts with excellent results. Since it's 200mm max, you still have to be fairly close to wildlife to get a great shot, so it may not be great for birders, who usually require more zoom. It's pricey, but probably one that you keep forever because it's so good.Read full review
