I used a 400 6.8 for a couple days and hated it. I couldn't get used to the sliding focus mechanism and worse yet was having to focus it while the lens is stopped down to the working aperture or changing it back and forth since it does not open and close automatically to the working aperture like normal lenses do. Even though it was a great deal, I decided it wasn't worth the frustration. The lack of a decent affordable long lens ended being one of the reasons I sold the rest of R equipment at that time.
