　　I've never owned a lens whose sharpest aperture was wide open! This is the very first time I've invested $13k on a lens. Of course, the image quality from this lens is at an entire various level. Autofocus speed is super quick. This lens is certainly going to enhance my birding and wildfire photos. This is my first super-telephoto lens, so I am still in the process of acquiring the needed accessories; gimbal head, knapsacks, security locks, and possibly an updated tripod. I am also needing to raise my shooting method to an entire other level, shooting at 600mm and beyond programs every error.

　　I utilize this lens for birds in flight photography, hand held. It works excellent. I utilize it with a Canon 5D mk3 and/or a Canon 7D body. 75 % of the time I have a Canon 1.4 x III extender on the lens and it works fantastic, quick focus, high IQ. The weight of the lens is fair for hand held shots. Exceptional lens, glad I purchased it on Amazon.
