Great lens to get attention!
- Pros: long range, fast focus, image stabilization, weight, built
- Cons: price, small aperture
- Other Thoughts: This is my 3rd Canon lens and I like this a lot. Even though it's not a fast lens its zoom range and image stabilization make up for it. It's hard to capture moving objects at night but during daytime you can do a lot with this lens. You can even take pictures of strangers unnoticed.
Remarkable Lens
- Pros: This lens has almost everything you could ask for in a mid-range zoom, with the "L" glass producing truly pristine images. I decided to go with this one instead of the 2.8 and although the extra f-stop would be nice at times, paying $xxx less as well as reducing the weight by almost half by carrying this lens instead has been worth the trade-off. Additionally, the IS lets me get away with hand-held shooting in many situations that would potentially demand a tripod if using a lesser quality product. In all, if you can justify the purchase of this high-end lens, you will not be disappointed.
- Cons: Would be nice if the tripod ring mount were included in the box, but that is not a fault of the lens itself.
I like It
- Pros: 99% of my photos are taken outdoors in fairly good lighting conditions. I thought I would try the f4L to save a couple bucks over the 2.8. I have found that for my needs the f4 presents no real problems for me. I am usualy able to use a tripod, but the IS dose come in handy for that quick unplaned shot, and dose work well when you need it. I'll be keeping this lens, no need for the 2.8 for me. Auto focus works great.
- Cons: how could you have cons, its L glass.
