Well today I was like a kid with a new toy just got my new 70-300 mm IS this is my first image stabilizing lens so I was excited to try it out, so i took off my 70-200 4 L probably a good lens to compare it with.
Well first thing is the weight it's light and inconspicuous compared to my 70-200 L with its black finish ,
it feels very nice and it's fast to focus, image stabilizion is excellent and the range is great 112mm to 480 mm on my xt rebel
colours and sharpnesss are a not nice as my 70-200 f4 L but image stabilization and weight and extra range make it very attractive I am happy with it
see some picture unedited and some edited on my site
p.s I did not try with IS set to to setting no:2 & I am not a professional

Well there are many positive things to say but first I love the sharpness and its weight of this lens it's light for a 96 mm equivalent lens
but also well built, and the fact you get two lens for the price of one,as in a macro and a portrait lens.
I would of liked to get a lens hood and soft pouch for the money but no complaints really, sometimes sit can be slow to focus.if Iever get the Canon 5d Iwill miss it
