Great Lens

I took this lens with me to the zoo. Took photos and video with it. Fantastic output. I read a ton of reviews and was reluctant to buy it. Lot of reviews stating blurry focus and bad bokeh. You have to know how to adjust the settings for this lens. My photos came out sharp.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus
  • Strong Construction
Cons:
  • Heavy
  • Lens Creep

Awesome Lens

One of the better Canon glass . Vastly reduces any camera shake and the pictures come out awesome due to negligable shake induced blur.. Tremendous in low light conditions and I have taken some fantasic pictures using this lens..

Great lens

The lens is amazing. The image stabilizer definatly helps clean up your shots. Also the lens can be locked at 70mm to prevent from sliding out. I was debating between this lens, and the 28-135 IS lens, but i choose this lens over it mainly for the longer zoom.
Pros:
  • Image stabilizer
  • Long range
  • USM
Cons:
  • Have to stand at least 5 feet away from subject to focus

Pros:
  • The clarity
  • the small size
  • lightweight
Cons:
  • The price
