[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 483264, member: 25183"] I find it extremely hard to believe that a £100 lens shot wide open is sharper than a £1500 lens stopped down, a lens used everywhere by pros because of its capability to take top notch pictures. I think that the likelihood is that there is some user error in your test. It doesn't even look to me like the 70-200 shot is in focus. Everything I've read suggests that the VR version and my Tamron VC equivalent are sharper than this lens. Even so I sometimes feel like it is very difficult to get the IQ I want from my lens and would like to upgrade too a 300mm prime. This older 70-300mm may well be capable of getting some decent images but nothing I've seen from it blows me away. [/QUOTE]
