I'm really confused... I remember the tones, the exposue, details and bokeh of the 75-300 iii, and it's just like that. It seems like the lens is producing some kind of CPL effect without any filter physically put on? Notice how the subject is nicely exposed, but the background is darkish. DO IS similarly exposed on subject, but background is much brighter.

Nope, no Voodoo going on with those test pictures. 

It's simply that the background lighting (exposure) is different.  Note that the author even makes mention of that. 

You're still sane,
