Fantastic lens, but bulky
Everyone knows this lens - it's one of the ones Canon users drool over and say "someday." I found one in great shape, for a great price, and got lucky. It's not for everything though. It's not a "walking around" lens. It's way too heavy for that. I often bring it along in a backpack, and that's not too bad. Carrying it around on the camera gets tiring very quickly though.
Functionally, it's great. Sharp, fast, tough. It's even been good at things I didn't expect - like getting close ups of small things. It's not a macro lens, of course, but it does a nice job. It excels at action sequences like sports and wildlife, and it's good in low light. I've shot concerts with excellent results. Since it's 200mm max, you still have to be fairly close to wildlife to get a great shot, so it may not be great for birders, who usually require more zoom.
It's pricey, but probably one that you keep forever because it's so good.
