That sucks! I got mine early this year and I am very happy with it. Image quality certainly similar to the Canon 100-400 I had before. Stabilization and autofocus need a bit of getting used to. The AF only seems to work on my EOS60D when already close to in-focus, but then it is sharp most of the time. This lens is strong enough to read registrations of several widebodies flying overhead at FL370!

In the meanwhile this lens sells at bol.com for E 1359 now with an expected delivery of 7 weeks.
Yes, I've seen your photos in the photo topic - could you perhaps post some 100% crops or just a full 100% picture that was taken at 600mm and f/6.3 and f/8?
Because when resized to 1000 pixels and sharpened, any lens will look great
Can you share your experiences with this lens while at Mildenhall? How was the AF speed with your camera, did the lens "hunt" a lot? And what was the keeper rate of this lens, compared to whatever lens you were using previously?
(Because we always of course post our sharpest shots on here but no one can see it when only 1 out of 10 pictures is actually sharp!)

I can tell you that the keeper rate was a lot higher than with my old Nikon 80-400 and it is faster then the Sigma 120-400.Basman wrote:Yes, I've seen your photos in the photo topic - could you perhaps post some 100% crops or just a full 100% picture that was taken at 600mm and f/6.3 and f/8?

Dear Jan,
I am also very interested in this lens, could you have a look the above questions from Erik?
And Marcelb, have you received yours by now?
