Okay, who's going to be first to rush out and replace their old 70-300 with the new model?

It is by far, the best of the 70-300 lenses. Even sharp at the long end, which none of the previous versions are.

I own and use the FX and DX versions and I agree. I bought the FX version to use with a D750 that I later sold. I kept the lens because it performed so well. Now I use it on my D500.

FWIW, along the way I've also owned the Sigma 100-400mm and Tamron 18-400mm lenses. I sold the former because it was becoming too heavy for my aging body. The latter is a fine general purpose lens but it's a little soft IMO and the stabilization leaves something to be desired when shooting handheld as I mostly do.
