Just got yours? How do you find it?
You must have strong arms
People may find it intrusive if we go round shooting with such big lenses...don't you get stares?
GREAT! Love the sharpness and colours! Outstanding build quality. VR leaves people hoping for more though. Let me quote someone, if ur reading this, you know how good this lens is and it IS as good as you think it is so just get it! What i thought was limited by resolution last time is soooo not. It's all in the lens...

"Robert" is always referred to as someone who always paid a high price without knowing why, in Cantonese movies/drama :bsmilie:

$2.2k :thumbsup: compared to $3k that's a saving of $800 which can get you a SB-900 with spare change.

If you're referring to using converter + extension tube: I tried with converter but quality no good and also you need to be very near the subject which may disturb them
Maybe use a T6 will be better but I don't have a T6.

I am shooting sports, so I guess I will attached a converter of 2 times only. How is the IQ?

hmm... I've got no experience with 2x convertor. I've only used it with 1.4 and 1.7.
Sharpness with 1.4 and 1.7 is average.
Lost a lot of contrast
Colour is also so so only.
Besides sharpness, Contrast and colour and be reproduced again with software.

I see. Ok, I will get the 1.7 then. Maybe you can post some pictures taken together with 1.7 converter so that people who wanted to buy now can buy the converter together as a package as well. They can even fight for a better discount :bsmilie:
