yes, its awesome, better image quality and lighter than the old one. but not build like a tank. There are some weak points like the lens hood lock nut design that needs fixing at times... and Canon's response... the lens cap is a $600 accessory, and it is not covered under the CPS program. Total BS.

Bit like all canon super teles then, you park the trunk, lens hood, lens cap, lens foot/ feet in your loft and do what many others do and replace them with a lenscoat/ Zemlin hood, a zemlin/Don Zack cap, a purpose made arca foot, a lenscoat/outdoor photography cover and camera bag that will hold the lens with your body attached

Job done and it’s 5 out of 5 as it’s magical with or without teleconverters and hasn’t really been surpassed as yet as a 600 mm according to the MTFs
