Thank you Eric. I still have my 75-300 without image stabilization and you are absolutely right, the new lens is lot heavier than the old but the quality is a hundred fold better. The new lens has two I.S. settings. One for still shots and one for action. I am not use to hearing the servos working away yet and I have a sneaky feeling it will eat batteries faster. I took over 400 shots at a truck pull tonight with it and WOW, Shooting at 1/10 shutter speed with a 4 to 5 Fstop I got some killer shots. They are a lot better than the ones I posted last year, and yes Vic they are still burning diesel fuel. I will post some later today.

Thank you Merv. I was never able to shoot birds with the older lens and get the quality I was after. I don't think I will ever be stable enough to get the clarity with that lens that I get with the new one.
 
The image stabilizing (or vibration reduction for Nikonians) makes a huge difference. I only have one lens in my bag that has it, sadly. The non-stabilized lenses are lighter and way cheaper. I just try to be as steady as possible for the non-stabilized lenses. Shooting with a stabilized lens versus non-stabilized is awesome.
 
I can already see a big difference to the good from this lens. I am going to have to spend some more time with it to get use to the extra weight over extended periods of time. And as promised, here are some shots of the truck pull last night.

We sent this one home this morning. I did a spot repair in the paint on the driver side door. Car has a small block with a gear drive and two fours.
