Canon 70-300L IS on Rebel T3i?

can my rebel take a 70-300 L lens?  Is that lens substantially better than the non-L version?  Thank you.

I just that lens on my Rebel t6s so it should be fine on your t3i.  The L version of this lens is substantially sharper than the non-L 70-300.  You'll love it!

Thank you, Karen. I'm looking into purchasing it.

keep in mind there is a new CANON EF 70-300MM F4-5.6 IS II USM which should be in between the L and the older version in terms of optics quality.

I have been waiting for the reviews as I have been sitting on the fence with the L version.

Perhaps worth the wait.
