OK, here's my 2 pence....
It's a nice piece of kit. I've had one for over a year and got some great results. The push/pull is very easy to use, but i think it's the reason my sensor is covered in dust. Secondly, the IS failed and had to be fixed under warranty.
Thirdly, it's good quality at 100-300mm, but above 300mm i've found mine to be pretty useless as it goes pretty soft. I'd also like it to be wider.
My best results have been achieved at f8.
The niggles have really started to push me towards the 70-200 f2.8 LIS & 1.4x combo, although i's be quite happy to use it for a little while longer. I can really see a 70-200 in my kit bag by the end of the year.
