I actually used this lens for many motorsports assignments before buying the 2.8IS version. It is very sharp and with a surprising fast AF speed. Extremely good value for money in my opinion and I now regret selling it as it would come in very handy for occasions where I need to travel light. Not that I would give up the new lens though...
