I ordered it, keeping my fingers crossed. Seemed like a good deal and I've got a lens extender I've had and never been able to use because I didn't have an L lens that would fit it, may get over 400mm out of this lens now on a bright day

If you mean 200mm with TC to 400mm, you must have the 2x TC. That should rob 2 stops of light from the lens and make it a 400mm f/8. Not 100% sure if AF work well in f/8 though.

Yea, I got a x2 at an auction once, brand new in a box for next to nothing. The body is a 1.6 so it's going to be around a 640mm? Might be fun for a bright day. At least I get a chance to mess with the extender before I peddle it off

at the sub $600 price you can probably use this lens for a quite a few years and sell it for little to no loss in your "investment." you may even be able to sell it for more!
back in the days of the bing Cash Back and payplus bonus i was able to buy the f/4L IS version for $700 tax free. i also picked up several other lenses with the bing Cash Back. whenever you see a good L lens at a discounted price just buy it!

I'd been watching Craigs list but the prices are equal to just a bit under retail. Figure this one will last me a long time.
Wish I had the cash for this on hand. Green for OP, anyone want to make it a very happy new year for me?

nongdam said: Need IS for that range unless using tripod I just about always use a tripod or a braced monopod. If it doesn't work I'll eBay the extender, only have $50 in it anyway!
It depends on what you shoot and the conditions. You do not need IS if you are able to shoot it with fast enough shutter speed and with good hand held technique. In general, if you are able to shoot faster than 1/200 for full frame or 1/320 if you are using a cropped body at 200mm focal length, it should be fine. So in order to achieve a faster shutter speed, you either need more light or raise the ISO (shoot at f/4 if needed)
