It is still a great lens, and as I am an R6.2 user, it suits me just fine ( the 1.4x will give me a handy 250mm). >>>>>>> Hi Ross, Good move, as the 1.4 on that lesns makes an excellent combination even wide open. Used it many times until I bought the 70-180 2.8. And mistakenly sold the 180 at the time, as there are occaisions where the lighter weight 180 2.8 is easier and quicker to use . ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
