Congrats, you'll love it. Light, sharp as a tack and very fast and accurate focus.

Mine is resident on the 7D. Dynamite combo in every way - light, fast, sharp. Fab.

That was my first "L" lens too - I love it, it sparkles. Unfortunately, due to that lens, I ended up upgrading my Rebel to a 5D II :-)

Congratulations and know you got a keeper lens there!
