This is obviously a lot more complicated than I thought. To be more specific 
with my question:

I'm trying to figure out the differences between:

the older non IS 600/4 series II lens (it does say ultrasonic on the lens 
barrel but it is not designated USM)

the newer IS USM 600/4. 

are there focusing differences between the two lenses?

Is the IS version demonstrably sharper off a tripod?

thanks
