I know it's old and of production but do any of you have one and use it? Most the reviews, as recent as last year, give it a favarobale deal. What are your thoughts? 1DmarkIII ,5DmarkIII,7DII, 5 D, 40D,10 D , Canon 28mm 1.8, 35 f2, 50mm 1.8,1.4 85 1.8,Tamron 24-70 2.8, Canon 70-200,300F 2.8is L L 2.8

I was looking for something for basketball that is fast....I have been using 28 1.8 and my 70-200.....your correct I may want to go up to 24-70......28.8 has been great under the boards, thinking a little wider and longer would be great for the money. 1DmarkIII ,5DmarkIII,7DII, 5 D, 40D,10 D , Canon 28mm 1.8, 35 f2, 50mm 1.8,1.4 85 1.8,Tamron 24-70 2.8, Canon 70-200,300F 2.8is L L 2.8
