Pros: Outstanding sharpness & IQ, great build quality, IS is 4 stops
Cons: None
Opinion: I have this lens since 6 months, and what an awesome lens it has been. I have almost not touched the 100-400 L after I got this. It is in another league over the 100-400L. Its razor sharp, hand holdable and easy to carry around (I got a think tank glass limo back pack for it)I use it for birding and with the 7D crop factor I get a 800 f/4 IS lens!!!! IQ with the 1.4 X TC III is excellent.
Highly recommended, if one can afford the steep price.

Pros:Excellent sharpness, microcontrast that leaves you speechless, exceptional extender rendering.
Cons:Absolutely none
Opinion:I took this lens after almost 1 year of testing and research. I tried the 400 f2.8 I series, the 500 f4 Is, the 600 f4 2nd series etc. Then suddenly he comes. Before shooting I take it in hand and I already realize the advantage in terms of weight on the brothers mentioned above. At the first smooth shot I am speechless. I think I can say that it is absolutely among the sharpest lenses ever produced by Canon. With the extender it does not lose anything such as quality and operating speed. I also use it for photo hunting sessions helping me with a monopod. Extraordinary lens
Pros:Construction quality, sharpness, AF responsiveness, stabilization, colors of its lenses.
Cons:Absolutely Nothing.
Opinion:A masterpiece that Canon has managed to make, using first choice materials, starting from the case to finish to its magical lenses. AF a razor, silent and effective stabilizer, colors of its wonderful lenses, excellent combination with 2X third generation extender, I do not know if you have understood, but I am really in love with it. Thank you Canon.
Opinion:Like those who preceded me, I bought this lens thanks to a good opportunity, and not being young nor gymnast the use will be mainly with use of tripod or adequate support. For now used only in a few sessions, and even the freehand shots have largely satisfied me. The test of fire for me will be next week in Sardinia. After the purchase I proceeded to take a tour in CPS with the two machine bodies for a perfect pairing. Coupled with the 100/400 and two multipliers I am sure to cover my non-professional needs.
Opinion:And He finally joined my lenses!!! It'S been a long time around, yes... No... No.. And in the end, yes. Bought used but in excellent condition. Before the purchase I was frightened a bit ' weight since I would use it freehand. Weight that there is everything but that you can still manage (and in my case, despite the age...). Already used in different light conditions and the results have me more than satisfied. Crisp, fast AF, top stabilizer. With the EF 1.4 x III not affected by the AF ne for the sharpness, a nice 700 f 5.6. I had to buy a bigger backpack to be able to get us 2 5D4 with BG, the 100-400 L II, the 500 and the two multipliers, bottle of water and a sandwich... Here, let's say a 10kg of things... I'm glad I don't have to go. With this 500 and the 100-400 I'm covered to the top for what, as an amateur, I do.
