I would say don't waste time with the 400 DO and look at used EF 600 F4 IS II for about the same price. Then get the 1.4 and 2X III TC's to get you to 840/5.6 and 1200/8.

Just SO big and heavy. I mean, I know it has fantastic IQ, and I guess I would use it where I didn't have to carry it far + I already have the TC's..... But it would have to be a "steal of a deal" used price.... and that never seems to happen to me. People want to sell me used stuff for 80+% of new.... and they offer to buy used stuff from me for 20% Story of my life.
