Howard There was a good test comparison of the different 300's (including Nikon's 300's) at: http://space.tin.it/arte/ripolini/300_MTF_tests.htm Bottom line is that it seems the old 300/4 was indeed very good wide open (Approaching the 300/2.8 wide open), but at higher fstops the IS has a slight edge. Canon's offerings are better than the Nikon equivalents, though and if I hear how much raving there is about the Nikon 300/4 on other lists, I don't think we have anything to complain about with the 300/4 IS. My own experience with the 300/4 IS certainly was very positive and I only sold it to partly fund my purchase of the 2.8 IS. I do miss the portability and close focusing ability of the f4 IS very much.
