It focuses fast! It's nice and long! It's super sharp! DPP's new DLO makes it even sharper! The wife finds it too heavy.

Agility comes tomorrow... but first, a few test shots (the horses look better in Flickr's lightbox mode than on harsh white).
Congratulations on the new lens. The sample shots look great. It seemed to work well keeping a running horse in focus. Also, the deer is real sharp even though there is plenty of objects around the deer to confuse the focus (e.g., grass, trees..). If your keeper rate was good, then it looks like it is a lens that should work well for your purposes.
