Well since you asked..
I have one.
I really like it - AF is quick and accurate, sharpness is bang on, I'd even go so far as saying comparible to my 70-200 IS although I haven't pixel peeped enough to really say for sure.
Weight is not too bad, although I use a monopod a lot when doing my rally photography. It is just very nice to use - and I rate that a lot in my gear.

I'll jump in here too, not had mine very long but it's well worth what I paid for it (£480 ish). Im not sure it's worth the usual price of around £700-800 new when that would get you near a 100-400 L but its built very well, love the internal focusing and it's nice and sharp if used well.
Will post a few examples if need be?

Love it...check out any of my wildlife threads all pretty much taken with this lens..works superbly wide open at f4 and gets sharper stopped down a bit..not a lot to touch it in its range in my opinion for the price.Works well with a 1.4x too.

I have one. Great. Between 100-300 virtually equal to the Canon 100-400L but between 1/2 and 1 stop faster. Will accept a 1.4TC if required.
If Canon made it, it would be white with a red ring around it.
Won't AF on a consumer grade body with a 2.0x t/c but you could manually use it. I'd prefer to crop heavily instead for better IQ.

Almost all the 2008 motorsport shots on my website were taken with the 100-300mm f/4 - it's a cracker of a lens, sharp from wide open, and just feels really nice to use...
