Cons: it's heavy. no other way to put it. auto-focus hunts a bit if your in a low light situation. OS is going to be a battery killer, if your not using a grip.
Pros: the massive range makes it easy to shoot in situations where the action comes and goes. i've had great results birding with this lens. made for an interesting and fun day at the zoo too! the Optical Stabilization makes this a practical hand-held 'super zoom'.
Summary: I picked this lens up to go shoot pictures of the space shuttle in may. Despite the steep price (for someone who doesn't make a living shooting pictures), I would happily recommended you pick this lens up if you have kids who play sports, or like to shoot wild life.
