PetKal.......while almost all on this forum take to heart your words of wisdom and learn from your experience (me included),
but I just sold mine after owning it for 10 years (yes..first version) and it was a super lens..sharp, fast focus, rock solid performer for me...starting on a 1MKIIn, 1DMKIII and now on a 1DMKIV and 5DMKIII. I will say....just like any lens...subject to if you get a good one or not!
Thank you, however, in reality, very few people pay attention to what I have to say. (Incidentally, even one of my oldest internet friends who recently bought a 600 MkII lens, totally ignored my suggestions on lens accessories to get. You see, that has not hurt my feelings at all because I am quite used to being ignored)
There is always some statistical variation in different copies of the same lens model, therefore it is difficult to be 100% accurate with any lens appraisals. One can go by their own lens copy, and/or by some sort of a consensus gleaned from other knowledgeable lens users.
Some lenses have been traditionally considered to be high risk, such as 50 f/1.0, 400DO and 400 f/2.8 non-IS MkI, which means that the probability of getting a fine copy is slim, yet the purchase cost is generally high.
