Disappointing. Given the price tag and modest apertures I was expecting optical performance in the same league as 70-200/2.8 IS mk2 and 70-200/4 IS. Guess not. In all it doesn't seem like a huge improvement over the old non-L model.

No surprise. 2x UD elements. Compare that the the 70-200Ls. The pricing is the oddest part. Generally I like the lens though.
