FINALLY! gotta love my peoples!
Yeah, I'd rather have a 300 f4 for the price, but the deal I got was too good to pass up (local). It will make a good combo for when my wife is second shooter at sporting events. It's a very solid telephoto and much lighter than the 2.8 IS version. I'll probably be looking to swap it out for the 300 f4 eventually though....
I still have one of my 40D's, but I sold the other one a while ago. I got my asking price ($650) on Craigslist locally. I got lots of interest, but had quite a few people back out until I got one person who e-mailed it, and met me with cash an hour later!

The f4 versions are sooo sharp, I love the size and quality of mine.

...i thought a lower f value helps produce a sharper picture
I got another 580 EX II from a guy and he talked me into the 70-200 while I was there! Haha. He said he got 31 e-mails in about 6 hours about the flash!
It's definitely way sharper than my 2.8 IS at 200mm wide open.
On the same lens, stopping down (smaller aperture, higher f-number) will be sharper. From lens-to-lens it varies. High quality lenses can have wide apertures (low f-number) and still be very sharp....i thought a lower f value helps produce a sharper picture

Yea, I had a fun time trying to find a 580 EXII. Ended up buying a new one with the Canon rebate.
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday by the way!
