Dennis, It's not only not an L lens, it's not even a Canon. I'm using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. While it's cheap it's not so nasty in my opinion.
According the comparative reviews that you gave me the link to, this lens is very good up to 200mm, but CA increases after that and is a big problem when used at 300mm.
I've not thought to use a tripod for my birds in flight. The images I took are all hand held. Maybe I should do my pics a favour and mount the camera.
