[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 82483, member: 8705"] My only comment would be to make sure the autofocus is fast enough as at least one review thought it was slow. If that's the case and you put a TC on it you may feel it is painful as that will slow it down further. I have a Nikon 70-200 2.8 and the autofocus is virtually instant. You may find that this with a 2 * TC is good enough in terms of focal length. I reckon the cost of the combo is about the same, however you get probably the best big zoom on the planet when the TC is not attached. I have also noticed that this lens is so good I get better images shot at 200mm and cropped than my 75-300 at 300mm. Not an entirely fair test but I did test it to see which to use when I need the range. Sorry if I've gone a bit off track. [/QUOTE]
