I'm the proud owner of a new 70-300 F4-5.6 IS USM lens. I finally decided on this one as I rented a 70-200 F4L over the weekend and although a great lens I couldnt justify the extra $600(cdn) for the 70-200 F4L IS, and hopefully my guilt over purchaseing it wont make me want to return it :P

Oooh, congratulations.

Be sure to post saying how it compares to the 70-200 (since you've used them both)!

I also purchase this lens, you will love it. Heres an example of it at full zoom, handheld. The "IS" is great with this lens.

the only real downer so far is I wanted to get a hood but its like $65 for this little bit of plastic and there are bigger hoods for 1/2 the cost...
