Thanks for the heads up Peter. I picked it up this evening - first impressions are that it is a big heavy lens, but that it fits my hand well and balances with the 1DsII body nicely. Unfortunately it only has the older small tripod foot, but considering the price compared to new that is a smll niggle. I have only checked it out indoors, but even in the low light the focus seems quick and accurate. It hunts a little on low contrast scenes in the dim light, but no more than most other lenses I think. Havent been able to test it on moving subjects yet.
I'll test it out over the next week or so and give a more considered opinion.
