On my blog today http://franzfoto.wordpress.com/2011/...ens-sometimes/ I discuss the strengths and weakness of this amazing lens. With the new Canon teles starting to arrive I'm doing some evaluations of what I have and where I might go...

Thanks for the review, and I must agree with your conclusions.. I also use the 4th Generation replacement foot. Which reduces the weight even more, and almost as easy to hand hold, as the 500mmf4 I would have liked more on how you found the FOV when shooting birds in flight.. The haze effects are not something I suffer from on my UK shores..
