This has probably been addressed before, but I can't seem to find it 
in the archives....  Why does the IS version of the 300/4L score such 
low marks (3.4) compared to the older, non-IS version (4.3)?  I 
thought they both used the same optical forumla; can the extra 
elements for IS really degrade performance _that_ much?

At first I took this to be a typo, but bringing up the detailed 
numbers and looking at the MTF charts indicates that photodo found 
the older version to have substantially higher numbers than the IS:
