I received this lens in the mail, and within one hour was on my way to a sports event. I attached the lens to the camera, read two paragraphs on operation and began using the lens. Wow !! Great photos. Great quality. Super colors.

I have arthritis in my hands so I was concerned about the weight of the lens. I had nothing to fear. No problem at all with the weight though I would not advise anyone with the same problem to go for a heavier lens than this one.The photos are coming out so much crisper with this lens.very happy with this purchase.

I love this lens!

I previously owned version 1 of this lens but sold it when I purchased the f/2.8 version. While the f/2.8 is a fabulous lens, it is quite heavy and I found that I wasn't taking my camera along with me as much as I used to, or wanted to. I have been planning to purchase another f/4 and when the version II came out I bit the bullet and did it. I am so happy I did!! I love the lens, it is incredibly sharp and so much lighter than the f/2.8. The f/4 is suitable for most of what I shoot and its ease of use (for my old arthritic wrists and thumbs) is bringing joy back to my photography. I will keep the f/2.8 for use with a tripod, but most of my everyday shooting will happily be with the f/4.

I bought this Lense some years back, great performance compared to its 2.8, it seems to be sharper and from my point of view, better than its faster sister! High quality, affordable and performs well with EF 2X II extender. the only complain I have is the internal rubber seal for extender and external rubber grip for Lense do oxidize and have to be cleaned! I must add that cloning the internal part worries me leaving debris behind on the Lense

Pretty amazing lens. Put it in my Aquatech Elite II housing and swam outside to get some pretty awesome shots with the longer port.

I just got this lens, I have taken some nature shoots, sport shoots, and portrait, all have exceeded my expectations! I am still learning this lens and the 6DMarkII I just bought but if you are indoubt go for it this is a huge step up : 0 ) A big plus in even higher ISO's the resolution is very sharp.
