Canon 2531A002

Pros: Stunning picture quality, very sharp, excellent in low light

Cons: Price: not for the faint-walleted!

The Bottom Line: If you can afford it, buy it!

Review: When you consider buying a lens of this price, you are clearly serious about your photography so I'll forget the small talk and get down to business....

This lens is truly astounding in its quality but what are you getting for all this...

Pros: Uncompromising image quality; Superb IS (tripod compatible); Excellent bokeh; Very useable handheld

Cons: Not exactly cheap; Attracts too much attention; Heavy to hold to eye for extended periods;

The Bottom Line: Recommended for any application requiring a very sharp, steady, fast 300mm optic. Nothing about this lens will disappoint.

Review: I have owned and used this lens for a little more than a year. This optic is one of Canon's finest.

Portability: Size & Weight
