Anyone got any practical experience of this lens?
I need something for airshows. My 70-200 f/4 plus 1.4 converter isn't really ideal. Obviously the 100-400L is popular and anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that quality issues have been sorted, but it's expensive and it would be nice to consider a few viable alternatives if I should take the plunge! I read an article in last Saturdays Daily Telegraph (I think) about a travel/landscape guy who swears by the Sigma and it's 4 stop optical stabiliser.
On the other hand, what are the chances, do you think, of a 100-400 replacement being unveiled in Sept?
