I have the Pro II, and I like it very much. I don't know if I have any examples I can show right now, but I have been very pleased with the results with my film bodies. I haven't used it much with my *istD. In general, I'm not real thrilled with what I'm getting from my *istD in general... Regardless of lens :(
