If you only have room to pack one lens!
I have enjoyed using this lens in a variety of situations, but find that it really 'shines' in the Zoo- When I still want that wider angle that my other standby, the 100-400, just doesn't cover. With this lens, I can go all day without making a change- A significant advantage when you are out in the field.
A range like this brings you, on a crop sensor body, from Just shy of a 'normal' (44mm) all the way up to a decent telephoto, all with a push of the slide zoom. The reach is more than enough for some basic wildlife work, especially, as mentioned, at the zoo, where the 'critters' are a lot closer!
As for optical performance- It is an 'L' series lens, and it lives up to the name, for sure!! The pictures are sharp. You do need to realize that there are always going to be tradeoffs- When you construct a lens that has a range this broad, you are going to see some softness and distortion at the extreme ends of things. But- 'Soft' is a relative term- And I seriously doubt that you will ever get that comment from a photo taken with this lens!
This lens has an F3.5-5.6 apeture, so it is pretty slow. Not great for inside, or low light, although the Image Stabilizer function does help. Used outdoors, where it is intended to be used, it is great.
Autofocus is the fast and quiet Canon Ultrasonic Motor- Which means manual focus is always ready to go. This will save the day in a lot of situations, where you need to 'fine tune' the focus in a hurry!
The major drawback to this lens is the cost. At well over $2k, it is one of the most expensive in the Canon lineup. But, it is far cheaper and more convenient than carrying a bag full of primes with you! And, You don't have to change lenses all day long, eliminating dust in the lens/sensor, and keeping you from missing that great shot!
As with all L series glass, It's built like a tank, and can take a real beating. It uses 77mm filters. Includes hood, and carrying case, too!

The new lens offers an extended zoom range at the wide-angle end and incorporates an Image Stabilizer (IS), which compensates for approximately three shutter speeds, allowing the handheld capture of shots that would otherwise be blurred by camera shake. The EF28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM delivers high-contrast, high-resolution images for which Canon's L-series is renowned. A combination of advanced optical technologies, including UD (ultra-low dispersion) and aspherical lenses, work in concert to achieve a high zoom ratio of approximately 11x while effectively correcting for a variety of aberrations that can occur when zooming. Featuring a new optical design, the lens makes possible a minimum focusing distance of just 0.7 meters throughout the entire zoom range. Other features include a circular diaphragm for improved background blur, and a hardy waterand dust-resistant construction, ensuring professional users unfailing performance under even the most grueling of conditions.
