Just wondering if anybody has any experience with this lens. The wife is really getting into wildlife photography and this is her xmas present. Hoping I made the right choice on a higher end lens than she had that can reach out there a bit further. It will be on a Canon Rebel so I know the lens will likely outperform the camera and be a bit big on it but a new camera body will be the next upgrade.

Been lots of discussion on this lens. I've seen some damn good pics taken with one. Timber used to shoot with it. I think its a good lens for the money.

I've used it a lot, and find myself keeping it at 400 99% of the time. I don't care for the "push-pull" zoom, and have read that the action can allow dust to enter the lens. It's a great lens though, as are all the white "L" lenses.

I think Pope was adverse against it. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I think he thought it was a bit inconsistent or soft. I think Rob or huntnphool argued with him on it. All I've ever seen was Timbers pics and I thought he took awesome captures with it. I think its a great lens for the money. Without popping for a prime and having to auction the kids on ebay, I think its a good lens.

Thanks for the replies. She has taken some pretty nice shots with the 55-250 but I am hoping this will get out there a bit further. There sure is a lot to learn about photography but she really likes it.
