I'm a bit surprise about the resolution numbers (even at 400mm) which seem decent given some of the complaints. Then again the images don't look that crisp but maybe I'm confused (i.e, i see all these sharp images on the web but perhaps I don't realize the magnification factor or post processing). To be honest I sort of like things in the film days when things were a bit simpler <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I wonder if canon silently updated this lens over the years.

Looks plenty sharp to me.
