This SL 90/280 glass is really quite special. Some beautiful little bokeh balls rendered throughout.

The SL and even the SL2 seem to get quite a bit of flack for not having the best AF systems--challenges with contrast detect, etc.  I'm sure that if you compare the SL2 to what Sony or Canon have to offer currently you will find it the weaker choice, but coupled with the 90-280 it still does an excellent job, at least with moderately predictable subjects.  Here is one of my daughter from yesterday at a riding show.  "Alvin" (the horse) was coming towards me at an oblique angle at a fast canter, perhaps eight or ten miles per hour. The SL2 and 90-280 had no trouble keeping up from a focus standpoint (though I might have done better at 1/1,000s rather than 1/500s).  This image was in taken in manual exposure mode set to -⅓ stop with the aperture set to f/11 and the shutter set to 1/500s and the ISO floating. White balance was set manually using a gray card. Continuous AF mode with the camera choosing the target (locked on to my daughter pretty effectively).  This was a zoomed out fully to 90mm.

Last weekend I was at Road America for the IMSA race and a first attempt at racing photography with the SL2 and the 90-280.  Much better results than with the SL and 90-280 3 years ago!

Well I just got mine (a good price mint from Ffordes) and I'm pleased to say it really really doesn't feel big.  I've come from years with Canon pro DSLRs and L series 70-200s and the SL2 + the 90-28 feels positively svelte!  Hey, it's a large, professional lens - but it covers such a useful range, pairs perfectly with the 24-90 and is going to do the job when I need it.  I'm confident that it will outlive the SL2 - glass is glass, and very very pleased that I eventually made this choice. Pictures will be posted at some point 🙂
