[QUOTE="westmill, post: 56120, member: 9330"] I have the 80-200 F2.8 too. And I agree with Pedroj here.... a good idea lol. With me though, i just never use it, other than for the horse racing. It's simply too big and heavy to cart around anywhere. It won't even fit in my bag lol. Using the converter would add another stop, effectively making it an F4 which isn't bad. You obviously lose a bit of quality, too, using a converter. The 80-200 is a bit soft and lacks contrast used wide open so it needs stopping down anyway. I've not used it with a converter so I don't know how it would affect focus speed. Weighing everything up, I would say this is the way to go... IF.... you already carry this lens around with you. :) [/QUOTE]
