Lets see some test shots...

damn.. why so cheap? Canon is more expensive? I thought it was the other way? I mean if you compare it to 70-200 f/2.8L IS I

Its dark now. Test shots tomorrow. It was rated a 7/10. The paint on the tripod ring is rough but there are no dings in the body. The glass is near perfect.

Sadly, since I've recieved it, ive been considering returning it and buyog something cheaper like the 85 1.8.

Pfft don't sell anything till you shot with it and outside in some good light - trying indoors will just disappoint you unless you tripod mount it and go for slower shutter speeds (or you know use flash )

I'll gladly make that trade plus cash of course, if you decide to go that route.
