I had the chance to try this lens on my 7D and it performs nicely.
Sharpness looks very good but the AF is really not that fast. The Canon 300/2.8 IS is at least twice as fast AND has a focus limiter.
The build quality is good but not without problems. The tripod foot is not exactly rock solid and there are stripes from the mould on the lens barrel.
I think the 5-star rating for price/performance is absolutely appropriate. You can't get any more for just 2500€!

Any idea why? What were the shooting conditions?
