I got myself a 75-300 4.5-5.6 push pull zoom today, thought it would be a slouch even though the reviews I read were good. most reviewers gripes were AF speed, but on old F90's back in the day.

This lens would have to be one of the sharpest I have used, its better than my 80-200 2.8 at 300 when stopped down a bit, I dont know wether its the abresion reduction, but for a non ED lens its the goods. The AF speed is awsome on the 300s and it dosnt hunt like the 80-200 when its lost.

Still getting used to the push pull :mrgreen: Old school :lol:

Ill post some pics when I get some online somewhere.

A 75- 300mm F5.6 that is sharper than a 80-200 F2.8? You have my attention and I'm waiting to hear more.
