There are no shortcuts to any place worth going to

These are RAW files converted to JPEG [quality 6] in Digital Photo Professional 2.2 with no post-processing [except for white balance in one or two]. I almost fell out of my chair when I examined them on my monitor.

It's amazing how consistently good the f/4 IS has been in lab tests and users' posted images. To date, I've heard of only one non-optimised copy [check fredmiranda.com]. I suspect that with this lens, Canon have managed to fix the QC issues plaguing their lens production. Or so I'd like to think

From many accounts, the 2.8 IS is nowhere as sharp, even at f/4. This is why I went for the f/4 IS. Truly a legendary lens.

They are good geese shots, but I'd PP the PooPoo on the second pic  Well spotted! I thought it was pond weed, but what do I know. Are you an expert on goose droppings? ha ha

And the trade-in is worth it, even though the 70-300 IS is optically very good.
