This lens stays on my 1DSIII 95% of the time. I also have the 24L, 100L IS, 100-400L with 2X&1.4. Granted it is fairly heavy but I do hike Yosemite with it.

Great lens. Nice lens to have if you don't want to change out lens during your trip. Love the fact that you only need carry a single lens and still have a wide focal range. Great optics, produces sharp pictures. The weight is the only downside to this lens, but well worth the workout.

I have had this lens for 10 years or so, it's amazing. I shoot weddings predominantly, it's sharp, it fast enough (could always be faster, but modern bodies with noise-free high-iso make this a non-issue).
Few years ago I thought to do digital photographs are only "plastic" and not a skill.Since I bought the Canon A70 and then my CANON EOS 30D, I never looked back.I will soon get the 1D Mark III when the "ship arrives" !!

WHAT NEGATIVES
The Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM ($2,689) is a bit of an oddity when compared with other modern lenses. Its push-pull design requires you to handle it like a trombone to zoom, and its high-end build quality (and price) are rare for an all-in-one zoom lens. It's one of only a pair of full-frame lenses that covers this ambitious a zoom range—the other is the AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR ($946.95 at Amazon) zoom for Nikon cameras. The Nikkor lens also makes some optical compromises to achieve such a long zoom range, but at $1,050, its asking price is a heck of a lot less. Canon's 28-300mm has the look of other L series zooms. Its barrel is all metal and finished in the classic off-white color that you see on the sidelines of every major sporting event. The push-pull zoom mechanism, which requires you to move the outer part of the barrel forward to zoom in and pull it back to zoom in, takes some getting used to, especially if you're used to modern zooms that almost un...
Canon's EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM lens covers an incredible zoom range and works with full-frame cameras, but its price and just-ok optics make it a tough sell.
