Just bought this lens from a member today and practiced my handheld telephoto on the way to work. This lens is stupid sharp, and the 2.8 II is suppose to be sharper ???

Some say it is, but it isn't a general consensus. Some think the F4L IS is the sharpest zoom Canon makes. F2.8 has smoother bokeh though. Regardless, this lens produces magical images. I don't think I will EVER sell mine.

^^^Hey Doc...that's a really cool shot!

(And I agree...this lens is very sharp....but the f2.8 mk II is probably it's equal...but I like the weight of this one better as I carry my gear a looong way!)


Growing old disgracefully!

+1, I fully agree. I walk for miles and this lens has never bothered me. I have said this before but the weight of this lens+15-85+35F2 IS equals to F2.8 alone. That by itself is a deal breaker for me.

This lens has never let me down, sometimes I am browsing my old images and the ones taken with this lens really make me wow to this day. Its magical in many ways.

Love the squirrel shot, doc! I can almost see him thinking, "oh you beautiful nut you are my favorite food in the whole wide world. I'm never going to let you go!" :lol:

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Thanks, they can be a lot of fun to watch but they are too quick. I like capturing wildlife in motion, just makes them that much more interesting.

Nice shot, doc! I saw one just a couple of days ago, singing his little heart out. Got some shots with my son's SX50HS, will post one of these days.

I love the sunstars with this lens. I never knew that Telephotos could make great semi-landscape lenses. Lately this combo with my S35 is perfect for my walking around. So happy with this lens
