You really need to try it to appreciate how big a lens it really is.
Plus you've got to pay for 77mm diameter filters, and a polarizer
(which you really should be carting about with you for landscapes and
the like) of that size is a *lot* of money (circa 100 UKP for a decent
one). I haven't bought one myself yet, but will have to some day soon.

Well, it won't work with the Canon converters, so you're going to
sacrifice a bit of quality. Its a bit limited on closeup too since it
can only manage about 1:4 and I don't know if diopters are even
available in 77mm.
Overall, I would not agree that the 28-70/2.8 L is an ideal travel
lens. How about the 50mm f2.5 macro...?
