Lightning-fast and accurate 45-point AF. Is it true they have a dedicated board/processor for AF? http://www.edwardhor.com

Dunno, but there's no way I'd have trusted a 5D or 40D to hold focus with such shallow DOF ... Luke

It seems that whenever I fully zoom out with this lens, the images never seem to come out very sharp even though I have boosted the sharpness up in the camera settings and the colours are very dull and need a fair amount of post processing. When I use the lens with no zoom at all, the images seem to be much better and require less processing afterwards. Never judge a person till you walk a mile in their shoes - by then it won't matter. You are a mile away and they have no shoes.

I am wondering if this could be a problem with the lens quality, the camera sensor/mirror or just me not fully understanding how to use the lens correctly. The longer you're zooming the more camera shake will effect your image. IS can come in really handy for that. (This is from my experience anyway).

Nice! And this AF advantage was from the 1D classic to the current lineup? http://www.edwardhor.com

The MkIII's are even better, with more cross-type sensors. Luke
