I tested this bad lens to see how bad it was: all on a tripod, manual focus (sometimes wrong), remote trigger in aperture priority, shot several lenses f5,6 ,f8, f11.The goal was to get some result like this at half the distance (this was my reference):700mm f6,3 at double distance:[ATTACH]174038[/ATTACH]I set up at a certain moment the 70-300G to the status where it opens at 5,3, it seems this is 270mm:[ATTACH]174039[/ATTACH]my Kenko 1,4 seemed to degrade the other lenses too much.So compared to a 70-200mm f2,8 VRII, 200mm, f5,6 same distance:[ATTACH]174040[/ATTACH]Just a short conclusion a lot of below 100€ lenses performed better (me as random factor included) then the 70-200 f2,8 VRII on my tests.Clearly if I wanted to bear the weight the 70-200 f2,8 VRII would be my only lens, more consistent, more bells and whistles, more high quality glass to correct difficult situations, etc... not to neglect in the best situation f8, it generally was unbeatable.But the other lenses should be used when they are more convenient, they are super lenses to get great pictures (even if you miss some more pictures with them).</blockquote>
