this is a good lens if used with some skill, it is not image stabilized so the best shots are obtained hand held using the camera sports setting for a fast shutter speed. it sometime searches for focus on flying birds so I often choose to focus. I bought the lens used for less than 1/2 the price of a similar new lens, so it was a very good deal, the 500 mm allows me to reach out for bird, still and flying with favorable results, I also used a 2x extender to photograph an eagle quite a distance away. I also photographed a fox in a field after sunset and was surprised the photo was OK. this lens has a big glass at the front and may be a bit heavy for a small person.
I received my lens pretty fast and it was well wrapped/packaged. I was looking for a 500 mm lens for my canon camera and this lens is in great condition. I am looking forward to taking more photos of bird in my neighborhood now.

This is a nice lens. The image is sharp and the auto focus is quick and accurate. The only negative is, I wish the zoom had a brake so when the lens is pointed down when carried it would stay put rather than extending out to full length.

The lens offers you the opportunity to get up close and sharp to your distant subject. While at its longest length, the lens sharpness falls off a little like most long lenses, the overall image quality is still more than just acceptable. The f5 max aperture is good for outdoors but can be an issue if trying to shoot a fast moving sporting event in an dimly lit arena. A very good lens in general and a great lens for the price

I purchased this lens to shoot from the stands at football games. Does the job. Harder to get a crystal clear image under artificial light but have been able to take some amazing action shots.
