Showing its age, but well worth the money
by ncphototrekker, Mar 24, 2009
Pros: Typical "L" quality standards, and a very usable focal length. Great for cropped frame bodies.
Cons: Dated design, lack of weather sealing, heavy, and expensive.
The Bottom Line: This is a great speacialized lens for the landscape/wildlife photographer, and is likely to be very good for the sports photographer as well.
Review: Canon is known for their world class "L" Series optics, and the reputation is well deserved. I ...

Comparison with Sigma 80-400, Sigma 50-500 and Tamron 200-500
by tcchou71, Jun 27, 2007
Pros: Fast focus gets even faster with focus limiter. Image stabilization, build quality.
Cons: Zoom lock ring needs 2 hands to operate. Not razor sharp at 400mm. Expensive.
The Bottom Line: What I really want (a stabilized, fast-focusing 500mm zoom for under $1500) doesn't exist. This is the next best thing.
Review: Note: I originally reviewed this exact product two years ago, and it has been one of my more popular ...
