First of all, both of your pictures are excellent and much sharper than these. But I was out in my lawn testing my old 75-300 USM III trying to decide if I could use it with my new 7D. Basically, I know it isn't "L," but considering Bryan calls it "mediocre" several times in his review,how bad is it? Anyway, this guy flew by and I snapped these pictures. Hand held, manual focus (because the focus does hunt).
