Yep, it is sharp

I use the lens with and without T.C.'s. I can tell a difference but not much. Also agree with Rebell99 on the 300mm II. It is optically as good or better than the 500 II IMO.

Both are tack sharrp wide open. With the older ones I would have to stop down, not the new ones.

It just doesn't get any better IMO.
