I got to play with the lens for a few minutes today on my 7D. Just hand held, taking pictures around my yard. If you haven't gotten the lens yet or had a chance to try it out, prepare to be amazed, I was. I really never dreamed I'd be able to handhold this lens at 600mm cause I usually shake quite a bit but when I put the images in my computer I didn't have a one OOF. Granted everything was stationary but some were almost a block away.
I don't run test cause I'm not experenced enough and I don't really care about all that stuff except to pay attention to others test to decide if I want the lens but the test for me is if I can make a pleasing image after PP. and not much of that. I used Helicon Filter that I bought about 6 years ago for $79.00 for life time up-grades. I maybe crop, run lite noise removal, and sharpen a little if it needs it. These images probably won't impress many people but for a 70 year old cripple with the shakes I am well pleased. Don't be to hard on them cause I not a pro and took them quickly and went on to the next one just to see what I could do with this lens. A few days and a little more attention to technicque and I'm sure the images this lens will turn out will be excellent..
My neighbor was amazed cause about 20 minutes after I took that shot I gave him a 4x6 print. He said, this is what you took of me from your front porch a few minutes ago? That's why I like photography, the smiles it putes on other's faces.
