My dream lens for long time
This lens is everything I expected it to be when I bought it on eBay. When they tell you that it is the fastest 200 mm on earth, believe it. The focus is instantaneous at fully open (why would anyone use this lens otherwise if he can?) gives a sharp picture and everything else a blur like no other lens I ever used. When I bought it the hood was loose. I had a hard time finding a store that had 2 perfect replacement screws (Canon non longer services this lens).
I never own a lens that so impressed me as this one even though it has no IS. It doesn't need it since it is always used fully open thus at maximum shutter speed and mostly on a monopod.
I am 76 years old and I have a very hard time handling this lens with a monopod attached to it. It is with great regret that I have put it back on eBay. I wish I could use it but I can't.

Maybe good enough
Each are too short and do not weigh enough like in the old days but they are useable if nothing else is available.
