<h3>It's a terrible lens. Just read about all the problems online. It's a dust-pump. It's not sharp. The bokeh is really bad. </h3>

Oh, wait, you mean that everything on the internet isn't true? That might explain why I really like myEF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6<span style="color: red;"]LIS! It's a great lens, it's usually on my 7D when I go out to shoot birds or wildlife (unless it's raining, in which case I use theEF 70-200mm f/2.8<span style="color: red;"]LIS II with anEF 1.4x II Extender). Here are a few samples with the 100-400mm:
