I know this is a very old lens, but from what I've read it's quite the optical performer. Has anyone here used it?
I realise it lacks USM, IS etc. of the newer lenses but I feel like a a 70-200 sort of lens would be useful and I'd value having the 2.8 aperture and much more subtle paint finish over the USM offered by the newer f/4L...
Again I realise they're pretty hard to come by nowadays, but just in the sense of keeping my eyes out for one and knowing more about it if I do see one. It was a centrepiece of Canon's professional range up until the newer 70-200s were introduced so it must have been both quite widely sold and quite the performer
