I'm beginning to question the value of user reviews particularly where the user's quality standard, techniques and intended use are unknowns and may differ from mine. An example is the user reviews of the EF 24mm f/1.4 L on FM and B&H where it seems many are awed by the fast aperture and are willing to forgive weaker image quality at the faster apertures and the expectation of cherry-picking dealer's (or importer's) stock to find one of the better samples, and give the lens a very high rating. At any rate I expect that with the right conditions and technique the 800mmm f/5.6 IS can deliver much more than the sample photos demonstrated.
