• A quality lens you won't regret buying
  I made several upgrades to my camera equipment this summer and this was one of my best purchases. I waffled between this and the 400 prime but in the end decided I wanted the zoom capabilities. The photos I've taken with this are simply stunning. I shoot mainly wildlife and landscape photography and this lens delivers every single time.
  Make no mistake, this is a BIG lens and it's fairly heavy. But, don't let that deter you in the last. I have lugged this around on all day hikes and for the picture... more info

• Great upper body workout!
  When I bought my Canon 5D, I could afford only one lens, so I started with the 24-105 L series IS unit. Last December, I treated myself to the 100-400 L IS unit. Naturally, the shorter focal length is handier for most things I shoot (people, scenics, architecture and so forth), but I really wanted to try a longer lens.

They are in the business because they love photography, not just to sell you something expensive ;) Bring your camera and take some pictures so you can look at them when you get back home and compare this and one that's 1/2 the price and weight.

• an incredible lens!
  the reviews before have been quite detailed, and really say it all. I have been shooting, professionally and otherwise, for over 40 years, and I have to say that the Canon L Lenses are the first 35 mm lenses that remind me of the days of shooting with Hasselblads. Incredible sharpness, and wonderful craftmanship of construction.
