Yeah that's a good point as the AF is very clunky on the 300 f/4 that's for sure! And also having a lens that can already reach into the 400mm range without having to add the extender is of course much desired and to be able to zoom out is very welcome on an APS-C DSLR. Having f/4 has been nice though but as often the case i've found with lenses practicality of usage overcomes the need in technical ability. Weight & bulk always seem to be a issue though...

Thanks for your contribution guys.
