    Not only is this the best lens I've ever owned, buying from Beach Camera made this purchase that much better. I ordered the lens on 8/3/09 and received the lens 8/5/09. Lightning fast delivery. This lens can do it all. AF can track fast moving objects and stick with it. I would recommend this lens over the IS version. The IS makes pictures look a little soft and most of the time with this lens you should be using either a tripod or monopod so the IS becomes a non-factor. Read more

    its way better to pay like a couple hundred more and getting this on over the 70-200mm f/4 because if you get the f/4 after a month you would regret buying it so i say go buy this one Read more
