I second what Greg said about this lens.  Actually, this lens is major 
shooter.  I also have heard that it is almost as good as the 70-180 APO for 
a song.  You would not regret it.
 
Regards,
David

Steve,

Great outdoor lens in that it is razor sharp throughout the range. Almost as 
good as the 70-180/2.8 at less than 1/2 the price and weight.

Only drawback; it is limited in low light w/o flash.

Regards,

Greg
