Long story but the main thing is I have it in my hands!! I've heard so much about this lens that I can't wait to get home and take some pictures with it...I'm at work at the moment.  What the heck are you still doing at work?? When I got that lens, I started clicking pics RIGHT away. It will be dark by the time you get home, so you'll have to wait 'till tomorrow!! Go now!!!

Shooting a moving (running really fast !!!) target is a snap with that lens. IS mode 2 is absolutely great for tracking/panning a moving subject. And it is tack sharp!!!

You may find it too short for some situations with sports, but it's quite the performer nonetheless. 5D4 | 50 1.4 | 85L II | 24-70L II | 70-200 2.8L IS II
