[QUOTE="Bengt Nyman, post: 483473, member: 13692"] Delivery of this lens is still very slow and sporadic. In addition, early tests by LenScore indicate a 22% lower sharpness than with the older 300mm f4G. LensTip also reports a lower sharpness than from conventional primes in this focal range. I suspect that Nikon might not yet be done with the final development of this lens, which could be why DxO still has not tested it. I have told my dealer that I will wait with my purchase of the 300mm f4E until DxO test results are out. P.S. I am presently doing BIF with the TC1.4+300mm f4G with OK results except for the limited reach. I would not be willing to trade down in sharpness, if that turns out to be the final case. [/QUOTE]
