For those of you who have this brand of lens, which is it and what are your thoughts of the lens good or bad. I ask because I have the 70/300 the least paid by me for any lens yet it never seems to let me down and just wonderd what others who have lenses from this brand thought of theres.May be you could post the odd photo to show your point of veiw.

Hi Ken I also have the lens but have mixed feelings with it when I get the focus right I get some realy nice photos but my eyes are not what they were alas, mine is manual focus. I have managed to get hold of the 1.4 from Danny looking forward to trying it out when it arrives.
