One of the most conterversial lenses offered by Canon. I have owned three copies of this lens over the period of 5 years and each of them performed perfectly. Producing sharp image even wide open. I have test my current copy with the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L lens and the two lenses produced images that were similar in sharpness and contrast. I duely sold my 400mm prime lens.
This lens along with the 17-40 and 24-105 complete the entire zoom range required for any normal travel photography with out breaking your back and fits nicely into any medium sized camera bag.
