Hi.
I would like some advice on this lens. I must point out to stop confusion this is not the new sport designated one.
I have the chance to buy a mint second hand copy of this lens at a very good price and i was wondering if it's worth buying. I have read mixed reviews which only had to my indecision and confusion, I want this lens for wildlife and it will be coupled with a canon 7D. The weight of this lens is not an issue, I'am not a pro and do not aspire to be one, but i would like to be able to take good [in my eyes] clear and sharp photographs with a fast lens that's able to take teleconverters.
So my main question is do i buy this second hand from a good and known source, or do i save up to buy the new model, or do i get a canon 100-400mm lens that is not compatible with teleconverters.
I hope there is someone out there that can point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in anticipation of your comments.
John
