Only had my lens a day and have taken some samples to test IS and IQ for first impressions.

Not exciting photos, but I did go through all the F stops and shutter speeds in these sequences, and to test purple fringing etc.

RAWs imported straight into Lightroom and exported to Jpg full resolution. No Editing at all.

Autofocus is not quite as fast as the 70-200mm f/2.8L II, but almost, and is very useable.

I'll probably do some more structured photos soon on the weekend and add to the gallery when I have time.

Thank you Shaun, really useful post and good amount of samples in different situations.

From a first close look the lens seems very sharp across the entire frame but CA are massive, and in few cases even not rectifiable in post. Blur is smooth, bokeh exhibits cat's eye towards the extreme and seems a bit characterless.
