Don't know about the variability. Do you mean inconsistent quality in the
production run, or some such? I guess there have been a lot of them made
over a long period. I would expect some to be better than others. It
would be an easy bugger to wreck in an accident.
To compare apples and oranges, my 300/4.5 is sharper than my former 200/4
but not as sharp as my 180/2.8. With tubes it is good and sharp, though I
am not always sure I enjoy the out of focus areas. There's a sort of
"stars in motion" quality that's distracting. For me it works best when
the subject is against a shadow or dark background.
