Unfortunately the lens is already spoken for. I did get to look at it when the customer picked it up. It is unfortunate that it cannot be used with the APO 1.4x. This is because of a stationary element at the back of the lens. What is REALLY cool is the internal focussing. It is SOOO smooth. Anxious to hear a report back on the performance.
