you'll enjoy it. You may not use it as much as you like, but when you do, it's a delight.
I have it and love it, but it doesn't see a lot of camera time sadly.
the one thing I don't like about it is that it's not a consistent F stop. So, I tend to set it at F5.6 so it never chances on me, unless i want to try and get a tiny bit more bokeh at 100. But if I really want more bokeh at 100, i'd put on basically any other lens I own as the rest of them go down to 2.8 or lower.
I did a lot of horse jumping photography with it, and it did a fantastic job. It's also fun to shoot the moon with and some wildlifing.
It's also a very nice lens for making people laugh and feel uncomfortable, just with how big it can get to.
me with my 100-400 not extended at all. And no, I try not to scrunch my face up like that when i shoot now.
