A fine lens for sure..

This great lens is a joy to use....Keep in mind the min on 1:6 sensors will be about 160mm so you are limited in that respect.Would be nice if you could see lens IS settings like focus range presetin view finder.Don't like the fact that the lens hood does not have a mark to show where it can be installed quickly.. not bad using the logo as indicator for normal use, but always have problems putting it back on reversed to put away.Other hoods have a small dot etc to help line it up.This lens with...

A Powerhouse!

This lens is amazing. Nothing escapes it. It's like a black hole. Clearly the best lens I have ever owned. It's like the lidless Eye of Sauron from the Lord of the Rings. It is heavy and requires rethinking how you hold the camera. It comes with a beautiful case, a hood, and a tripod mount on the lens. Believe me you will need it. I took a few photos of my son from 250 feet away and they look great. I will now get to work reading the small manual. It has 2 focal settings and 2 stabilizing settings...

A Workout, but Well Worth it

If you use this lens on a 1.6X camera body such as the XT, 20D, or 30D you end up with a 160-640mm equivalent which is an impressive range by any standard.You can also add the 1.4X TC for a 896mm upper limit or the 2X TC for an amazing 1280mm.Of course this comes at a price, and I'm not just talking money.You will have to use a tripod, cable release, and mirror lockup a lot of the time when using such long focal lengths.Plus this thing is very heavy and very large and people will take notice.So...

Awesome at Airshows

I agree with all the others comments about this lens.It works great but it is big, heavy and attracts attention.When I say it attracts attention, I am not kidding.I was at an airshow taking pictures along with a lot of other amature photographers.My 100-400mm lens, however, attracted the attention of a local newpaper reporter who interviewed me.However, I bought it to use with my 20D at airshows and I can honestly say I am not disapointed.It was well worth the money.I also bought a cheap Kenko 1...
