Guys,
I have to tell you... this is one heck of a lens.
Shooting it against the Canon EF 70~200mm f/2.8 IS USM, this puppy is dead sharp.
I even threw the TAmROn SP1.4x T/C on it... just to see if I'd lose AF at the highend... it hunts a little, but it still nails it. I don't know whether to applaude the glass or the 20D. One or the other is doing some marvelous work.
500mm f/6.3 1/60sec ISO-400 (tripod mount)
13087
100% crop of above
13089
100% crop of lens with TAmROn SP1.4x T/C added (handheld, no less) @ effectively f/8 and autofocused.
