I've only owned this for a short period of time and the images are what I have expected from Canon "L" glass. This particular lens is much easier for me to hand hold and shoot compared to my original 400 f2.8 non-IS version (which I still have going on 25+ years)... 5 lbs doesn't sound like much, but over the course of a 3 day air show, it is. Disclaimer... I don't work for Canon. This review comes from my many years of owning Canon "L" glass going back to the original FD manual focus line. Even though I bought this lens is used, I know the build quality of their line. Granted, no lens or camera is perfect... I've always been of the mindset that, you get what you pay for. If you need this type of lens, you can't go wrong.

Many reviews have been written about this lens on various web sites and in magazines by professionals. I am an amateur and purchased the lens to photograph my son's college baseball team. Not surprisingly, the lens works to perfection. I have a few suggestions for other amateurs that may be considering the purchase of this lens for sports photography. Buy the Lens Trekker 600 from Lowepro. I got it on ebay for $80 new. This is not a lens that you want to carry separate from the camera. Attachments for other lenses can be added to the bag. The case that the lens comes in is only useful for air transport, travel, etc. It is impractical for bringing the lens to an event. Use a monopod. I purchased a Gitmo and it is unparalleled in terms of quality, easy adjustability and, most importantly, staying at the length you set. There is no need for a ballhead when using a monopod and this lens. Unlike the Canon 100-400, the quality and feel of the tripod ring on the 500 is superb with clear detents. A monopod can be mounted directly to the tripod ring which allows you to quickly and accurately adjust from landscape to portrait. I purchased the 1.4 extender. To get the outfielder to really pop and blur the background I found it to be essential but the extender does much more than that. It allows a different view of sports by creating the opportunity for close shots of facial expressions and plays at the bags. While my sport is baseball, I think this would be true for all outdoor sports. The lens is clearly expensive but I monitored costs for some time. I found that the lens has held its value and I expect to sell the lens for what I paid for it and maybe a little more if I ever decide to let it go.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Awesome lens. Works well with 2x extender making it 1000mm. The auto focus works well with the extender and since its a f4 with the extender it becomes an f8. Very sharp images.

This came better than described! Absolutely gorgeous lens! As nervous as I was about buying from over seas, and having my lens stuck in customs( an easy random customs check) she helped me get the paperwork I needed and was very easy to get ahold of! Thank you!!!!

Really, this has to be one of the best lenses in production folks! Super sharp, super fast, and it has IS!! This is a great wildlife lens and darn good for birding as well. Matched up with a 1.4x TC and you get even more focal length with no noticeable loss in image quality!! You can even go with a 2x TC and with a little bit of post processing get perfect results for print! You can even actually stack TCs and still get phenomenal results if you have the light to do it!! Believe it or not, the IS actually makes this lens hand holdable!!!! No, I am not joking! You do of course need to use large focal length techniques when shooting, but it is quite doable! The only real problem with this lens is the price tag!! It is NOT cheap by any means! But if you can afford it, you will not be disappointed! I do have to say though, that if you are a birder, you may want to consider the Sigma 300-800mm f/5.6 EX HSM DG first.Vollständige Rezension lesen
