Great Lens. Very poor build quality.
Had this on my 1DX mark II on assignment in Hong Kong. Brand New Lens. Placed the camera on a table and noticed the lens coming loose off the base. It had broken off exposing the inside electronics. Very very very poor build quality.
EXCELLENT LENS
I got mine before the Mk III came out, but wonder where Canon found room to improve on this one - and for the big price difference. This lens is superb & produces consistently sharp images. A solid build. Im very happy with it, no regrets. And, as usual, perfect service from B&H.
