It was about $1000 more than the 70-200 when I looked. It also was f3.5-5.6 I think, and I was after a fast lense. Canon 50D, 400D, 24-105mm f4L, 50mm f1.8, 100mm f2.8, 580EX

Photojournalists, travelers/tourists who need to keep their luggage down, people shooting in adverse conditions (don't want to expose the internals to dust/moisture/salt spray while changing lenses), people in search of a good walk-around lens, shall I continue?

I definately considered buying it for a walkaround lense. But in the end, the lure of the faster f2.8 won me over. Canon 50D, 400D, 24-105mm f4L, 50mm f1.8, 100mm f2.8, 580EX

But its a great, durable tool for the photographer who has to respond to fast-changing environments. It loses a notch or two to the finer zooms like the 24-70 or 70-200, but it serves its purpose very well. Tom

I always shrugged this lens off because of it's HUGE zoom range, but damn...go look up some of the images on pbase http://www.pbase.com …/ef_28-300_35-56_l_is_usm  It's damn impressive...and talk about a nice walk around lens, this thing does it all  From the above http, it is not that sharp and at 28mm it has some flare at the upper right corner.
