... I was waiting and waiting for an updated version of this lens (with IS hopefully) but finally gave up and bought one. I did not order it from Amazon because it does not seem to stock them and I got it from Norman Camera since they were the first one to receive fresh stock (Date code UX0317, so less than 2 months old). It is light but not that light, AF is super fast, seems to be very sharp too but only tried it for a few shots in cloudy weather. Will try to see how well it works hand held. Oh, did a quick and dirty check for AF microadjustment, seems like 0 works best (only did a quick compare with 3 -5s, 3 0s and 3 +5s). Overall, I'm happy with the lens.

Finally got a chance to take it out on a hike. Though it may be light by L lens standard, it is kind of heavy if you have to carry it for couple of hours. Image is sharp, very sharp providing you have very steady hand or good support, I think I will mostly have this on either a tripod or monopod. Despite of the weight and lack of IS, I am very very happy with this lens. It should be a 5 star rating if the price is somewhat lower. ...
