- Wonderful long length travel lens
I purchased this lens for use as a lighter carry and travel alternative to the 100-400. I've had the 100-400L for a while and really like it for wildlife and other long telephoto work; however, it is a bit large for travel and general carry. This little gem works great for that purpose as it is much smaller and still offers IS and a nice length. The image quality is very good, and while not quite up to par with the 100-400L the smaller size makes it usable for trips when space is tight. Highly recommended travel and carry lens!

- this lens kicks butt
i used this lens for high level aerial photography - 7500 ft as opposed to the 500 ft level i usually shoot
with a standard lens - the pix were fantastic - i worried about jiggle moving 60 mph in a fixed wing
aircraft shooting things close up over a mile away - with the image stabilizer on both settings 1 and 2
i got fantastics results - just make sure that the sun is shining bright and the lens does the rest

- A thrilling experience in a zoom lens!
I've had this lens for several weeks now and have taken nearly 100 photos with it. It is phenomenal for outdoor photography. Some of the criticism of this lens is that it's not very fast. But why would anyone want a 70-300 lens for indoor, night or low light use?

I'm quickly becoming a nature photographer with it. I can zoom in on wildlife from a safe distance and, even hand-held, it delivers clear shots that often have a shallow depth of field that nicely focuses attention on the subject. This lens has more than enough clarity for me. With so much glass built into a relatively small space, the lens feels substantial. The lock it has on the extension tube is great. It keeps it from extending when you don't want it to while walking with the camera over your shoulder.

Some examples of what this lens can do can be seen on a Flickr group I've created for this lens: [...]

- Great backpacking lens
Since I use a Canon Rebel with a 1.6x crop this lens becomes (in effect) like a 112mm - 480mm zoom. I considered the "standard" 70-300mm IS zoom and the 100-400 IS-L zoom and selected this because of it's size and weight. The DO has not been an issue and the pictures are sharp and clear. I did discover that the Canon 1.4x extender does not work with this lens and neither does the 2x glass I bought for the front.
I have been especially surprised (and pleased) at the macro possibilities. A butterfly at four feet nearly fills the frame!
Another 100mm would be nice, but this lens fits nicely with my 17-85mm IS to give me a nice complete range for field trips.
