This is a awful lens for the money....the non-IS version is so much crisper.

This is a awful lens for the money....the non-IS version is so much crisper.
You're the first person I've heard complain about it. Could you explain why you say this?
I am going to give this lens another chance today and will post some comparisons.
Maybe you have a lemon. I was just trying one out today at a photo trade show, and was quite impressed by it. Didn't get much opportunity to test out the new hybrid IS, so can't comment on that.
You are absolutely right....even my camera shop person said...."it's a lemon"....we even tried it on a tripod and the pictures are not sharp at all. I ended up getting a 300 mm f4.0 L IS USM....goodness gracious...this lens is so sharp.
Canon is very good and fairly quick at repairing or replacing your "lemon"
have you had any chance to take some comparison pictures? I would be interested in an update on this. Thanks
Dan
I gave the lens back and got the 300 mm f4 L IS USM instead.
