I've used many Canon lenses in my life. This is truly the best lens, Canon or not, that I've ever used in my life. The IQ is excellent when the lens is used by itself or with a 1.4x or 2x Canon Tele-converter. The colors that are rendered digitally are amazing. You'll read that you can't hand hold this 13lb lens but I disagree. I have taken some amazing photos hand holding this lens. Why buy a car when you can buy a lens for the same price.
Big, heavy, and unwieldy. Not really usable for most occasions. Absolutely need support. IS is not as effective as seen in shorter lenses. A 400mm f2.8 with a 1.4 teleconverter would probably be more useful. However, it does do what it does beautifully, and is a keeper.

I love this lens, just it’s heavy. After few hours walking with it you will want to consider the weight in these lenses next time.

This is a fantastic lens for the appropriate application. Surfing shots or sports in general. It does weigh more than one may exspect and I would rec the appropriate monopod. I purchased the Manfrotto. You will also need an adapter for the attachment to the lens base. RB
A great Lens for Wildlife photography. HEAVY.
