Chris,
I recently tested a few 24-70 Gm\'s and the 70-300 @ 70mm, landscape shots at f5.6. Light was fading, and cloud cover was starting to come in, so far from ideal test conditions.
However I shot all lenses within 5 minutes of each other, so all had just as bad conditions to work with.
Tripod, steady shot off.
Anyway, on every shot, on all copies of the GM, the 70-300G was more detailed @70mm..
Just had to register to say that as I\'d hate for you to keep buying new ones, thinking the GM should be better.
Weather isn\'t looking great here any time soon, but if the sun ever comes out I\'ll post some shots.

Anyway, on every shot, on all copies of the GM, the 70-300G was sharper.
