500/4 IS and Adorama March 14, 2006
8 out of 15 found this review helpful
I've bought several lenses from Adorama, two of which include a new 300/2.8 IS and the other, this 500/4 IS. All of their deliveries were prompt and well packed. I have zero complaints with them. I dealt the John (Green, I think is his last name) via email. I highly recommend them.
As for this lens, it is incredible. Wide open it creates a wickedly sharp subject against a wonderfully soft background (good bokeh). AF is very fast. This lens is extremely good and will still AF when used with the 1.4x converter. (AF works up to f5.6.)

Let's face it. This is a great lens.
But, I want to warn you about Adorama.
I highly recommend that you choose a better vendor.
Adorama is SLOW.
They don't respond to emails.
They took a week to ship my lens when they said it was in stock.
Their customer service is non-existent.
Their prices are no better than anyone else.
Almost every time I've ordered from them they have contacted me to try and sell me more stuff. (Which further delays shipping)
A totally unprofessional organization.
I for one will never order from them again.
Good luck if you do.
Bird Photography March 26, 2005

After noting the captions of exceptional photographs that appeared in nature and photography magazines were often shot with this lens, I began to read the reviews. Based on the uniformly excellent reviews, I bought this lens and spent two weeks this January in the Florida Everglades taking pictures of birds. Based upon my experience with the lens, I would rate this as second in sharpness and contrast only to the 300 mm f2.8 Canon L series lens. The lens is handholdable for short periods to shoot birds in flight, but it is best suited for use on a solid tripod with a Wimberley tripod head to allow tracking of birds in flight.
