Great glass!!

It is not my primary lens, and that is why it only got a 4star (my favourite lenses are always shorter - 50mm for example) but it still great glass. It does get a little heavy for continuous shooting, especially with the heavier camera bodies, but is perfect to shoot people with from a distance at...
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Easy to get the hang of
  • Nice Bokeh

  • Heavy

Great lens and price

When I purchased my 7D, I also picked this lens up for some wildlife and nature photography. With the cropped sensor, 300mm is close enough for animals that don't want to eat you... I'm impressed. Images are pretty sharp and colorful.
Pros:
  • Image stabilized
  • Superior build quality
  • Super-sharp images
Cons:
  • Slow Auto-Focus

Excellent Lens for Cash Strapped Semi-Pros

This is an excellent mid level zoom lens for the enthusiast or cash strapped semi-professional who needs a decent zoom lens. I bought mine through Amazon Warehouse Deals in Like New condition for about half price, so I did really well price wise.

Good for the money.

The lens works very good when you have good light. On lower light you'll see some of the sharpness fade, its good for bright light and can't beat the price of the L lens.
