I don't know that that lens has a particularly good reputation. When you are ready, looks like you need something like the Canon EF 70-200 F2.8L USM (or the more expensive version with image stabilization). This looks pretty much like my Nikkor equivalent, and similar $$. Canon shooters here (there are a few) would have more precise recommendations. I don't know about the focus speeds on the various Canon lenses, but I do know the L designation. There were several very similar (focal length and speed) Nikkor lenses for me to choose from, and the one I got was specific to my intended use.

You've got a good camera, now you just need to spend more on lenses than on the body!
