My lens goes from min to max focus in just over a 1/4 turn, so you should like that. Also there is a focus pre-set click setting screw, which can be very useful for returning to a pre-set focus distance.
Overall, I like this lens a lot, but I will stress I have not had the chance or wallet to compare to other 300mm lenses in this F/2.8 class. Compared to my other 300mm capable lenses, well obviously advantages with more light and good optical qualities at wider apertures.

I tried a Canon 300 fluorite but I loose to much time to focus with it, too many turns on the barrel to get at the distance I want... I wanted a faster response, with less turns
