[QUOTE="hark, post: 778288, member: 13196"] I have the first option as well as a 1.4x TC. It's a stellar lens and VERY light. But it's the lens that developed focusing issues. I purchased it preowned - it started developing issues after coupling it with a refurbished Nikon 1.7x TC. Nikon 'repaired' the lens, but it still has issues. However, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The 300mm coupled with the 1.4x TC will give you a comparable focal length of 420mm. BUT ... if you are considering the 500mm f/5.6 PF, that's the one you should get. It too is light - and it's insanely sharp. In fact, it's lighter than the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRii. So either one should work well handheld. [/QUOTE]
