I'm confused now... what's the difference between the "S" 120-300 and the current EX one, which seem to be dropped from the S. The styling is clearly different, but on first glance the optical design and MTF charts are identical. So they're re-skinning it for some reason? Ok, the link to IR in another thread states "Additionally, a button on the lens allows you to change focus speed and the focus limiter." which is a nice little extra, as well as the possibility of user adjustments of lens characteristics. Or is that a step too far, feeding into the gear tinkering when you should really just want to get out there and shoot?
Anyway, having used the current version of that lens today, the only "upgrade" I really want is if they can cut a couple kilos off its weight... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
