Hi Gary, If the EF 28-300 IS L had even a chance of being optically great of course we'd (us optical perfections nuts), all be "interested" in seeing the results. But I don't recall EVER seeing a high quality zoom lens in 35mm format no matter what letters you give it perform even reasonably well with a zoom ratio past much 3:1 let alone 10:1. No doubt if Peter K. tells us that he likes it he'll also be saying that it should be good enough for the rest of us too. Other people who's opinions I trust have posted their experiences saying that the EF 28-300 IS L zoom while interesting, is NOT a very good lens. I like many people tend to believe those that find results that over time confirm their own experiences. I see no reason to get excited about this lens at this date. Or maybe people are too busy to reply at the moment.
