Re: Action shots - Faster lens options (EF preferred) and camera software settings

I don't know anything about diffractive optics, but the price difference between new and used on the EF 70-300 f4.5-5.6 DO IS USM is blowing my mind. It lists at well over US$1,000 but is available used and described as "Very Good" in both the US and Japan for around US$275, and if I'm willing to take a risk on a "Good" description I can get that thing for US$217 from Japan. This is really tempting, but I'm having a hard time understanding how something at f4.5 would be fast, though.

Fast as in fast focusing, sorry for the ambiguity.
