I have been hoping and saving for this lens for a long time now. I am very happy with this lens, but really haven't been able to use it a whole lot since buying it but hope to really soon. So far I'm very happy with this lens.

This is a must have for your bag if you shoot weddings. If you have a second shooter, one should keep this on for the whole event.

I absolutely love this lens! I love the sharp images that leap off of the photograph at you... I use it for Sports mostly and love the 2.8 for the low light I can get so many more shots because of this. Rarely comes off the camera body.

It is heavy but everyone knows that before they buy it. This is my first L glass lens and a lens I will have forever!

We shot a school graduation in the morning with over 2000 shots and then went to a reunion and shot over 3000 more. The lens did great and we have shot 5 more event after that with the same results. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you have good batteries for the entire shoot or you will run into a slowing of the zoom function as they get weaker.

I bought this lens for it's speed, I had the Canon 28-300mm before that and the weight in comparison is nothing. The lens is very fast in Focusing. This lens is the main lens that I use all the time, once in a while I move to the wider angle lens. The photos are great, I notice no vignetting as I saw with the 28-300mm. I wold recomend this lens to anyone.

I use several prime lenses for studio work (50mm f/1.2 and others) but this lens is my all time favorite for medium close-ups and head shots indoors or out. First, this is an incredibly fast zoom lens at f/2.8. No other zoom lens is this fast. What you get is a wonderfully narrow depth of field while standing well back from the subject. My 50mm f/1.2 is great for portraits (.5 foot depth of field) but requires that I get right in the subject's face. Not very relaxing for them. This lens gives me a great look while standing ten or more feet away. Slower zoom lenses are cheaper and lighter (use less expensive glass) so if you aren't shooting indoors or don't need the narrow depth of field, save your money. For indoor glamour close-up shots, this lens is worth the extra money.

After using the 300D (Rebel) for more than 3 years, I got the 5D with the 24-105mm in January of this year Suddenly I found all my older lens either does not match the sensor of 5D or the 5D shows the weakness of the older generation lens.

I like nature photography and portrait. I need a longer zoom lens. Struggling among the 70-200 F4,F2.8, with/without IS or 100-300 with IS, I decided to go for the 70-200 F2.8 IS after searched many online review.

It is expensive, heavy, bulky and difficult to carry. I cannot put it in any of my backpack or shoulder bag once it is mounted. Carry the 5D with this new lens like carrying a newborn bady coming out from the hospital, need to be very very careful.

The image quality is excellent for both low light and bright daylight. Tested at the park near to my home in one of morning and another park on the other day time. First time I found such a clear, rich color and high defination digital picture in the past 4 years.
