Just sold mine!
It is/was a very good lens IMHO but I found that the zoom ring was very stiff making it difficult to move across the zoom range at any great speed - it hurt my fingers after a bit! I ended up having it out at the full 300mm anyway for most of the time at footie matches and always at cricket.
AF speed - difficult to comment on as the camera has some bearing on that but in poor light it wasn't the best. However, in its defence, given good light, the IQ was amazingly good - you just knew that you were going to get some great pics simply by looking through the viewfinder - the images were clear as a bell.
