Hong, I don't acquire every month of all the UK mags, but a few have told me about those results with the 7-2 f4 IS. And if true, then I would say the magazine is completely wrong. But thanks for pointing it out.

The most recent copy of Photography Monthly shows dismal results from the 70-200 f/4L IS lens as compared to other lenses in its class. I notice that you usually post articles from that magazine, but have chosen to skip that particular copy. Those magazine results are completely contrary to the findings of many users like yourself and Klauss (@ Photozone). And I've learnt another important lesson: magazine reviews are completely worthless IMO. :) In fact, the driving force behind the megapixel race is none other than those imbecilic magazine reviewers who equate pixel count to image quality. I kid you not.
