As usual your test results match closely my experience with the lens.

Behind the very good IQ I’d like to mention few minor drawbacks.



1. The lens is heavy. Attachment of tripod is challenge, even on 50d. This is probably minor issues since the lens targets the group of people that rarely used tripod.

2. The zoom ring and AF ring has different position compare to all my other lenses. I still cannot get to use the zoom ring in my action shoots.

3. The AF is fast but there is no focus limiter

4. VC works fine but there is no dedicated panning mode??? Does the VC switch automatically to panning mode when I move the lens horizontally?



I like this lens. babove drawbacks are minor and I'slowiy get used to live with them.





Thanks ,

Miro



PS The IQ at 300mm by my lens is reasonable good at 5,6. Nothing to worry here. Actualy very good for 400Euro lens
