This lens is just impressive, not only because it is a zoom lens. Its resolution is excellent. The only drawback on my camera (EOS 5D) was that AF was not alway reliable. But the potential of this lens (ie when focused on spot) is close to many primes.
The main directly visible difference in terms of resolution compared to good primes (e.g., the Canon 4/300) is a more pronouced resolution fall-off towards the edge/corner. Review by: banjoboy02 on Jun 22nd, 2007

After using this lens for over a month, I am very pleased with the performance. I typically use it with the Sigma 1.4X Teleconverter. The sharpness, contrast, and color of the photos are as good as any of my other lenses including the primes.
It is large and heavy so it does not tend to travel with me on longer hikes. Carrying the camera for any length of time with the lens mounted is not practical for me because of the weight. But when a great clear image of a distant subject is needed, the lens comes through. Add your reviewLogin required
