That's a nice lens, and one that I'd like to have personally... but it's such a long telephoto that it's not really usable for most purposes except for ones requiring some super long reach. I couldn't even use it in most locations because they don't have enough space. And, that's one heavy ass lens... I shot a wedding with one as a second shooter and my arm was trembling after a half hour... lol

If you want to do any serious photography of any kind, you need to have an L lens with a constant aperture. The last thing you need is your aperture changing from 4.0 to 5.6 because you zoomed, and it totally fucks your exposure. With one of the L 2.8 zoom lenses, you'll never have to worry about that.

Here's what I shoot with.
