Craig makes a very valid point, and certainly one I've wondered
about, particularly with the 75-300 IS. I didn't doubt Skip's
reactions to his experience with this lens, I've read similar
reactions often. Heck, I read them before I bought the lens. I do
have 4 enlargements taken handheld with this lens up at my wall
at work, so if I'm uncritical, I'm willing to share it.
