Seeing more and more used copies of this lens for sale.  I was long expecting to purchase one, likely adding a 1.4x extender, waiting for a trip or other event where it would be useful.  Fast forward to last month, when a friend indicated he was interested in selling his lightly used 100-400 II, a lens I admired but expected I would rarely use at less than maximum focal length.  While the added weight is unwelcome, stabilization and shorter MFD is a plus.  So I’m leaning that way now.  Oh yeah, there’s also a trip on the horizon.
