Fantastic prime lens, not cheap but Image Quality just blows all alternatives clear out the water, just no comparison whatsoever. If you into photographing wildlife, birds etc. this is the lens to get period. I have a bunch of other canon L series lenses and non impress me as much as this. Fast auto focus, precise quiet workings, build quality is superb and it's weight is manageable for hand held shooting, very versatile and matched with a 1.4XTeleConverter it's reach (700mm) is absolutely tops for most field work. If you still in two minds about this lens, rent one if you can and I guarantee you it's a matter of time and you'll buy one!!!
I agree, it is outstanding in every aspect, be it IQ, AF, use with TCs, build quality etc. Afterall it is to be expected when it is priced that way! But certainly a prized possession Here are a some images for you all from my recent Masai mara trip:

Great Masai Mara photos! I happen also there in early Sept. I ran 3 sets there, 500L (mark I however) on 5D3, 70-200L II on 1D3 and 24-70L II on 5D2 (for landscape snap). It's an once a lifetime experience.
