Thanks for posting this. Before it was stolen I used a pre-IS 300/2.8 for sports and found it was very sharp. Am now looking at getting a replacement but even used, the MkII is around £4k - whereas I can get a decent MkI for less than half that. I think that if a MkI is an optical improvement over the old lens, I'd probably be happy with it.

Chris.

if you can find a rev.1 at a reasonable price, i'd grab it. a pound or so heavier is not going to be a deal breaker, IMO. unless you are 75 or over, i wouldn't worry about the weight i can assure you you are going to find this lens stunningly fun to use.

good luck.
