Pros: Very sharp, stabilization is effective and the lens appears well built and rugged. 67mm filter size is a plus.
Cons: None so far.
Opinion: This lens is very underrated. I bought my 70-300L IS used from a major Lens Rental company to replace my 70-200 f4L IS. The 70-300 is heavier but the longer reach is well worth it. It is shorter than the 70-200 but only about 13mm (.5 in) wider and uses the same 67mm filters. The 70-300 fit very nicely in my camera bag without having to reorganize it. I bought an inexpensive 3rd party Tripod ring but rarely use it.

Pros:focal excursion, 4 stop stabilizer, closed footprint, speed and precision autofocus, weight and now also the cost
Cons:non-internal zoom and in some cases brightness.
Opinion:Before buying it I read many positive opinions that I have to confirm, I bought it to photograph the music and theater shows, given the diaphragm I was skeptical of operation in dimly lit environments, instead the rapid and precise focus and stabilizer allow you to always take home the shot. As I have already mentioned, the diaphragm 4.5 does not prevent me from shooting with poor light conditions thanks to the excellent stabilizer that also has double sensitivity, but it does not allow me to have a selective focus when the subject to be photographed is not very close and with a shallow seabed, in essence not being able in some cases to reduce the depth of field you can not eliminate annoying elements in the background. I am a lover of wide angles but they need a search for the shot, so I must admit that more and more often I put the machine in my bag after having triggered this very versatile lens, to be ready for any eventuality, in my backpack in the central position there is the 6D or 5DII with this mounted lens and comfortable front comfortable the 16-35L f4, Leaving room in the bag for the Sammy 12mm Fisheye, the 50ino 1.8 and the flash/24-70 managing to cover all the focal points I need. The elongation of the lens during the zoom is really ineek and does not go unnoticed especially when trying to steal a portrait, but the 300mm on the other hand allow you to stay at a fair distance, on the occasion of the demolition of the Morandi Bridge, I managed to find an exclusive angle and take home a good image despite the sidereal distance, highly recommended+
Pros:Sharpness,autofocus speed,bokeh,construction,is,compact and not too heavy
Cons:For me nothing
Opinion:I gave inside the 70-200 is f4 to have it and I didn't regret it. Having already had an excellent optics I was afraid to downgrade but comparing the images I found that the 70-300 is not lower in the same focal range. Satisfied since the 100 mm more are convenient. It's built very well, it's crisp and the blurry is good. In the last 20 years I have often changed lenses and kits and this is the longest-running lens in my possession.
Pros:Compactness, construction, versatility. The price is (today) performance-adjusted.
Cons:Nothing, in my opinion, except incompatibility with the original Canon dupliciers
Opinion:Bought after many hesitations, discarding in the choice the very good 70-200 F4. The compactness of the construction convinced me... and then those extra 100mm are really convenient (even at the cost of losing half a diaphragm). The lens is very solid, well balanced. The lack of the bracket is regrettable, which is absolutely essential because the sealing ring falls exactly on the palm of the hand and therefore it is easy to accidentally change the focus. The original one is sold at an absurd price: better to search in the vast world of the WEB... The sharpness is convincing, even at full openness. On FF it obviously maintains the original focal length, but mounted on an APS-C it becomes a 112-480 to be used with satisfaction in many areas (portrait, nature photo, sport)
Opinion:taken used by RCE and I must say that I am hyper satisfied. I had almost abandoned nature photography because I didn't have a decent canvas and switching from DOIS to this was a phenomenal leap. In combination with the new MKII M6 it is a pleasure to see the focus speed and sharpness of the photos. Having taken it used I also had the advantage of taking one that had already understood the bracket (not original), but for 940€ it was an absolute best buy.
