redhotsheep Goldmember  1,576 posts Joined Oct 2005 Location: London More info | The lens looks fine. But then again my cheapy tamron 55-200mm produced (for it) very sharp results at f5.6, which looked about the same, or better than your example. But remember, you're paying for build, focus speed, f2.8 and IS, not just benefit of sharpness.

canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | Nov 07, 2006 13:59 | #34 you're paying for build, focus speed, f2.8 and IS, not just benefit of sharpness OK, which one of those can you not do without? The build, focus speed, f2.8 and IS can all go over the rail, but without sharpness, none of the others matter at all. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
