Rated 4 out of 5 stars by 7 users at B&H Photo Video

"This is one of the finest zoom lenses I own in terms of optical performance. The HSM focusing is very fast and on a monopod the lens is easy to control."

"the lens has a great build-quality, AF is appropriately fast and reliable (on a 5Dm2)."

"as stated above, the only thing I have bad to say about this lens, is.....it weighs a ton."
