Is it really true that the US version ended up NOT including the tripod collar after all?
$1599 and not even including the collar?
No tripod collar included. The collar from the 28-300 fits perfectly, BTW.
And what, you guys don\'t want it compared to the 300 f2.8, too?
Seriously, I\'ll leave that to the real testers who have more patience than I do. Unless one of the techs gets bored next week and wants to do some comparisons. First I want to compare to a couple of more copies that are coming next week and make sure this just isn\'t a bad one.
I can say without hesitation that the 70-200 f4 and f2.8 are both sharper at 200 than this is, and, of course the 300 f4 is sharper at 300. I will try to do a 100-400 comparison once we get a couple of more 70-300 L copies and I see if this was a bad sample.
