Hi MRH

Here is a popular Canon reviewer with his take on the new lens after some detailed comparisons with the canon 75-300 and the Canon 28-105 zooms, along with user comments.

Thanks Ryan
I'm referring to the new one with VC(Vibration Compensation).
Positive reviews from elsewhere but want to get some lights from friends here who already used this lens.

Tried this lens at Imaging Expo 2007 and at 300mm end, ISO 400, 1/10 and f/6.3, it's still sharp. Rather impressive i must say. Price around $800+.
