Test of Canon 300 f:2.8 IS

Eventually I've upgraded to Canon 300/2,8 and managed a quick shootout last night to see the quality I hopefully can achieve with this monster (compared to the old 300/4 it is huge!).
First impression is very good, I even tried my very old 1,4x Canon converter, and was positively surprised about the result. All shots are on free-hand, so a tripod/monopod would be even better!? I haven't made any microadjustments yet AND I will use monopod/tripod or beanbag for this beauty..
