100-400 and wildlife

[loebas]

Borrowed this lens from my uncle.
After getting used to it, I must admit that it is a great lens to join you on your trips in the field.

Unfortunately my uncle want's his lens back again. I can imagine that.
So saving hard will make this lens affordable for me once.
What are the three main reason why you like this lens ?

I am an avid wildlife photographer, it gives me the reach.
I shoot my children and people a lot, it make me inconspicuous.
It was more affordable than a prime with this type of reach, helps me stay on the budget as I build my lenses.

EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM is next on the list, then we upgrade the camera, go after the 1.4x and new flash and then start in on the prime lenses I want.

1) IS
2) Zoom Range
3) Image quality
