COMMENTS: The ultimate practical telephoto lens, since the EF 1200/5.6L is way too big, way too heavy and WAY too expensive for 99.999% of phographers. The EF 600/4L IS USM is still quite big and heavy, though it is smaller and lighter than the non-IS version which it replaced. Optically superb. If this lens isn't sharp enough for you, nothing will be!
