Excellent performance, superb image quality.

If you need a premium zoom and open apertures is not important for you, this is the one. I've been working with this lens for about two years now and the results still surprising me after each photoshoot. The image quality is stunning, extremely sharp, low distortion, almost no vignetting. So good that I sold my 70-200 2.8 IS!

Definitely recommended.

Re: Excellent performance, superb image quality.

An undervalued lens, I have it for years and use it for shooting wildlife when moving as it is the most compact, lightweight, sharp tele on the (Canon) market.

Asking nature photographers, the main drawback is the fact that this lens doesn't allow converters. But I crop anyway so it was not a dealbraker for me. Sometimes even 100% crops are good.
