Helo all.
I have just ordered the above lens. I have heard very good comments and have read very encouraging reviews, I also cannot afford over £1000 for a Canon lens at the moment!!

Has anyone on here got one? Would they mind posting pictures (Animal/Bird pref) to give me some idea of the quality and also the body it was taken with. Your help is much appreciated.
Dawn.

Isn't this something you should do before ordering?

I have this lens and love it. I use it on a Rebel XTi. Here are a couple of dog shots taken last week at a frisbee competition:

Sorry for the delay in replying.

As I wrote, I have READ reviews and heard good comments, it may surprise you, but I cant try one untill I buy one! :rolleyes: I asked for help not a dig, but thanks for the sarcasm.

Ceegee.
Thanks for that, nice shots and much appreciated as were all the other HELPFUL replies.
