hmm like tt arh... you got any sample can show? cos i see the kenko and canon quality wise heard not much diff but price a lot of diff haha... and i only occasionally use it when i shoot event nid that extra bit of range

but u are going to use it with 70-200 f4?? may be too slow for event photo after 1.4x

thinking of sigma 120-300/f2.8 :think:

hmm becomes 5.6... quite slow for night events where lighting not good... maybe i should get a 2.8 IS

haha think like that wait i come out of NS then buy liao

IS doesnt help much IMO...how slow can u go for event photo right

unless u always shoot at 1/15 to 1/60, then IS will be useful

outside that range, IS is just a waste of battery

ic ic, occasionally when lighting really bad can fall to 1/60 but normally is 1/100 ard there and when the stage setup is good wif proper lighting can get 1/400 which is best haha
