One of the two sharpest lenses I've ever seen. Sharper, even, than the much vaunted 70-200 F:2.8 IS USM. This lens easily has the best bokeh I've ever seen. USM motor is fast and can have the stroke shortened for even faster focusing. The only thing I wish is that Canon would include the $200 tripod mount with the lens. Fortunately the tripod mount from the 70-200 F:4 USM (non-IS) will fit. Absolutely amazing lens for well under $1000.

It don't beat the 70-200f2.8L IS II at 200mms, at any setting. You say its one of two of the sharpest lenses you've ever seen. How many have you seen?
