Re: High ISO limitation?

I was a little disappointed using it at high ISO... it doesn't look ¨too¨ sharp as I expected to be an L lens of this price tag,

I bet my cheap 55-250 STM lens is just as good optically over the 55-250mm range. (The STM lens is as good as my 70-200 f2.8L IS where there ranges overlap - except for the faster aperture, robustness, and weather sealing.)

With all due respect, I honestly cannot compare a 55-250 with the 28-300.  The optical engineering required to get decent results for a range from moderate wide angle to super telephoto are much more demanding than those for a telephoto only unit.  I have no doubt that your 55-250 is doing a great job and is brilliant value for money, but you are comparing apples to oranges.
