"I use this lens for birding and it is sharp wide open at f/4 and equally as sharp with a 1.4 TC attached which changes the max aperture to 5.6. An amazing lens. A must have for sports and wildlife."

"If you want the best possible lens at this focal length then this is the best money can buy. I think from a value perspective this lens with the various tele-converters give you the most coverage and value for the money. I do also shoot a 70-200mm f/2.8 with and without the tele-converters with very good results, however the sharpness with this lens as expected is beyond comparison."

"I love this lens. I use this with my D300 because of the 1.5 crop factor, (now a 300-600mm) and use my D3 with the 70-200mm for closer shots at the zoo."
