Fantastic Lens
I got this to add to my 40d as i wanted a lens that would enable me to shoot some sports but for the most part pictures of my kids outside, the lens is great for portraits and just candid funny shots.

It is light enough to carry around and the image stabiliser works fine for action shots as well.
go and buy it, I deliberated because of the cost for a while but it is worth every penny. :)

Better than the f/2.8? Quite possibly.
I wasn't sure whether to go for this or its considerably chunkier mate, the f/2.8 IS. For my purposes I made the right choice. Here's why.
1. It's lighter - much lighter, and when you're taking it in a lowepro case in a rucksack up a mountain that matters a lot.
2. At f/4 it's not a particularly fast lens for low light - but the 2nd generation IS (with dual mode stabilisation) is worth a good 3-4 stops which offsets that.
3. For those of you geeky enough to look at lens charts, this is actually a crisper, sharper lens than the f/2.8 if you study the graphs. But graphs are graphs and there's no substitute for taking pictures with it, and i've done that with fine results.

So, in summary, I simply cannot believe that the f/2.8 version can possibly be £500 better than this. Very highly recommended indeed.
