Pros: Weight, sharpness, autofocus, balance

Cons: Price

Opinion: I recently bought this lens finding a bargain on used and for now I have tested it on 1dxiii in terms of smooth sharpness and with the 2xiii extender, comparing it with the 400 2.8 IS first series, with the 600 ii, 300 2.8 IS first series and 400 DO ii. The sharpness is always exceptional, smooth is superb, with a blur as nice as the 2.8 first series, silky I would say. Duplicated, the sharpness at f/5.6 remains fantastic and the performance in terms of autofocus speed remains excellent, lightning fast. Handheld it is perfectly usable for the weight but, above all, for the balance that shifts the weight towards the camera body. The new price, however, is unfortunately only for professionals in the F1 or MotoGP circus. For me excellent for itinerant use in the mountains for the weight and for the handheld usability, in practice a very sharp, very fast and very light 800 f/5.6. For larger subjects, such as ibex or chamois, used straight is a spectacle for sharpness and blur.

Pros: Beautiful optics tested on the occasion of the GP Austria 2019 fast in autofocus its blurry I like bright colors ... I think that combined with a machine body superior to my face beautiful photos ... great lens

Cons: high price ... but canon whites you know they're dear

Opinion: An amazing optics, used only a day but it was enough to see its quality, when I returned to my optics you immediately noticed the diversity, with such a high price is only for a few , in the sports field and nature a great goal, if one holds sturdy arms can use it freehand
