This is a lens designed for those who like sports and wildlife photography.One thing that can't go unnoticed is the optical quality even in maximum aperture.
Images produced by this lens are extremely sharp and contrasty. Autofocus is very quick and accurate. The lens is not very heavy (1.2kg) and it is easy to take handheld shots but if you choose to use a tripod or a beanbag (in safari vehicles) then this lens is an absolute joy!
It is probably the only "affordable" super telephoto lens in canon L series telephotos range and if you add the 1.4X MKII teleconverter you have a 560mm f/8 lens with only a barely noticeable image degradation. You can't go wrong with this lens.Excellent optics, beautiful...white-professional appearance, tempting price!

This is a cracking lens and worth every penny of the cost. It exudes quality and solidity. It's autofocus is fast and it captures images of extreme detail. You will miss out on some landscape shots if you go out with this lens alone, but for wildlife and birds in particular its a real treat.

I love this lens, I use it mainly for birds and the auto focus is quick and precise particularly when birds are in flight. The pictures it produces are sharp and clear

Good bang for your buck!
Tricky review for me because I own a 400mm f2.8 USM II and there is no comparison, nor should there be at eight times the price. Read more

Superb kit
Fabulous lens, very sharp, very fast to focus, light weight, a joy to use. Only downside is that it is quite long and I need to buy a new camera bag to put it in when mounted on my... Read more

One word: Brilliant
This is my first L-series lens. Given my experience, it won't be my last.

Great
This is really a very very good lens.
Its undoubtably one of the best lenses for birds in flight which i suspect is what most people "including myself" bought it for. Read more
