Canon - EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS USM Lens — 

What an awesome lens! I have been extremely pleased with the quality and sharpness of the Canon EF 100-400 USM IS. That image stabalizer has allowed me to shoot in lower light situations than with my old lenses. I have wanted this lens since it originally came out and finally purchased it a few months ago. There are only 2 things I can think of that I really don't like about the lens, though. 1. It's heavy. I mean really heavy. Especially after carrying it around all day. Tip: it comes with a lens case. Discard the strap that comes with it and go spend a few bucks on a wider strap that will be more comfortable. 2. Canon really needs to come out with a handle that screws into the lens' tripod mount. It would make it easier to stabalize when carrying a tripod or monopod is not convenient.
