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

Versatile lens, Great for wildlife shots
I was looking for a lens that could take shots of wildlife from a distance. This lens certainly fits the bill and the IS helps in low light. I was also looking at the 100-400mm lens but the negative comments about its barrel focusing system pushed me towards this one.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy
- Poor in Low Light

Ideal zoom
I bought this for a Canon EOS 750D and is a great compromise over buying separate lenses. It's not too heavy and has a lock to prevent movement when pointing up or down. Initial results are excellent and I'm looking forward to testing more of its features.

Top quality zoom
Superb lens enabling you to take quality, pin-sharp close-ups from long distances. The image stabiliser is very effective too. The only drawback is the relatively small aperture but that's only a problem if you're photographing in low light or indoors, and even then the quality of the images remains...

zoom
Just came back from the Chesapeake Bay area where I used this lens almost exclusively. (together with the canon5 Marklll The focus is fast, sharp as a tack, and never failed me. What impressed me the most is how true the colors remained even of the farthest objects.
