I love this lens!
on July 13, 2018
Posted by: MWard
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 would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Fast and quiet, very sharp focus. Feels lighter than I thought it would. This is a good thing because most of my work is with the camera hand held.

Great portrait lens

We used this lens for the first time yesterday in a beach photo shoot. The images are stunning...crisp and vivid. The image stabilization works very well. We chose this over the more expensive 70-200 lenses because we shoot almost exclusively outdoors in sunlight and this lens appears to be perfect for this. The build quality is fantastic so it should provide great results for our clients for years to come!

Significant upgrade
on December 23, 2018

I owned version 1. I used it a lot and liked it a lot. But it does have weaknesses, notably it sometimes struggles to accurately focus on small objects. I didn't plan to upgrade until Canon sent me a discount. I have used version II for 3 months and have to say it's better than expected. Every image is extremely sharp. Color and contrast look improved too. I know lab tests show little or no improved sharpness but in real life, it is noticeable. Perhaps the improved autofocus and IS are the big factors in real world shooting. I shoot mostly outdoors--landscapes, wildlife and some portraits with both a 77D and 5D IV. I have also used it indoors for some portraits in low light where the IS has produced sharp images handheld and slow shutter speeds. If you're on the fence about upgrading---go for it!

Absolutely the sharpest telephoto lens I’ve ever used. Focus is incredibly fast and spot on.

Having the second focus takes a little getting used to. The front one seems touchy so it would move when I was taking pictures. Spent the weekend shooting wildlife and think I have the hang of it now.
