Note i've got the new Macro version. This is my standard lens. Realy like the f/2.8 apeture. This is the lens that's on my camera most of the time.
The addition of HSM would make it even better, it's fast enough focussing and it makes a resonable amount of noise.
As with my other f/2.8 lens it a bit soft wide open, gets better stopped down a bit. Can't wait to use it for my holiday in France.

For a long time I was in the market for a 70-200mm f/2.8 HSM etc etc. But then the 50-150mm f/2.8 came along. Picked it up second hand from a guy who wanted a 70-200mm.
Together with my 18-50mm f/2.8 it makes a nice alround combo. It's fast enough for motor sports, got a lot of keepers with this lens at the French Grand Prix, and the ones I didn't keep where due to lack op experience.
Definetly a keeper!
