I have just bought this lens from a well known and well published American Wildlife photographer, the lens is in great shape and cost me $350.00, he stated that he had actually won awards with this very lens, I snatched his hand off! It' doesn't have the best / sharpest image quality at any of it's focal length's compared to primes but that's not it's strength, it is a lens that will take great shots in any situation, with a zoom of 35-350mm all your bases are covered with just one lens.

I needed a good L series lens for my full frame nice weight and balance good zoom range 35 to 350 not quite as sharp as the 70 210 F2.8 is, or 70 200 F4 lens, but has a much more useful range, reduce the aperture by 1 stop and the quality is outstanding this lens compliments my wide angle lens 19 38 mm it is okay outdoors in bright light but relly needs a tripod in dim light or indoors unless using flash or high ASA
super lens

This is an excellent lens. There is a huge quality difference between the "standard" canon lenses and the L series glass. The auto focus is extremely quick and smooth which really helps with moving targets, although with most sport focus is locked down. Being a push pull lens makes it easier to use as there's no need to swap between focus and zoom. An added feature with the push pull is that you can change the resistance of the zoom or lock it down completely. The weight of the lens is noticeable and a monopod is suggested if you are using for long periods of time. The general build quality of the lens is very high. All in all a very good lens and well worth a buy. Would suggest for photographers who deal with different ranges.
Thank to the L glass for a good and sharp image until 135 at f8 ,after it s blured with with a lot of noise in the shadows. This lens needs a lot of light. Plus it is too heavy. Better go to gymnasium and train your muscles. It s an old lens the new version is heavier with the anti shaking system.
