[QUOTE="Blacktop, post: 634366, member: 22693"] Because the only benefit I see over my 200-500mm lens is the size and weight difference. 1,900 dollars for an f/4 lens that only goes out to 300 mm is [B]not for me[/B]. Throw a 1.4TC on it, (another 3-400 bucks} and you're still at 420mm f/5.6. Now you're looking at 2,200-2,300 dollars for a 420mm f/5.6 lens that I kind of doubt surpasses the 200-500mm f/5.6 lens in optical performance, let alone substantially. Having said all that, I very much researched this lens and believe you and me, if I ever get to the point where I can't sling my 200-500 around, that would be the lens I would buy. [/QUOTE]
