Well said
If you can take decent photographs with a lens its a good lens.
You can have the best lens in the world .. BUT if you have no idea how to
use it then its the worst lens . lol blame the tools and get into the loop
of buying more cameras and lens in the hope that your photographs might
improve.

So what? Does that make it a poor lens?

(rhetorical questions, no answer sought or needed)

Alas, it's yet another G lens. But it has VR, "Nano-Crystal" AR coating
and a 'meniscus' protective glass element. Wow!?!?!


Hm.. just about 5 years late compared to Canon's 300/2.8 IS?


Hell, Canon folks can be so unforgiving.

Doesn't really matter who was first, all that matters is whether the lens
is good or not.

Indeed, but just because something /matter/ doesn't really have any
bearing on whether it's going to be discussed here.
