Ah cool, that site is quite accurate for his reviews IMOmight just take the plunge with this, I tried the 180mm f/3.5 and realized it was simply impossible without a tripod. 2.8 seems nice and tight as well for something that price; sharp handheld?

Quite sharp. It's even a great lens for portraits, if I have to believe some of my friends who use it more often.But DoF is so shallow, a mere heartbeat could bring you into the fuzzy spheres.
I did all mine without my tripod, but I have no doubt it would be better to use it in most cases.

Yeah, mine was an 'impulse buy' tooFriend phoned me at work that they were going to the shop right then, and if I also wanted one, I'd better decide in the next ten minutes ;-)
