It's not that heavy. I'm impressed with the sailing photographers that hold up a 600mm f4 on a 1Ds body all day long.

Thanks Hoppy :) It's an extremely capable lens, I shall be replacing my 100-400 with it as soon as I can. I haven't used it in anger with my Canon 1.4x converter but the few shots I took out of my window of a lamp post looked pretty sharp.

Here are a few samples from the other day. I have provided a shot of the full image and a 1:1 crop of the point of focus. No sharpening has been applied. Canon 7D, f3.5, 1/2500, ISO 200 at 300mm Canon 7D, f3.5, 1/3200, ISO 200 at 235mm Canon 7D, f3.5, 1/2000, ISO 200 at 300mm

I have just rented this lens from Hireacamera.com I shall report back!

Hi there micloi. I was just wondering if the Canon 1.4x II extender works with the new 120-300 OS? If so is there any chance of seeing some test images as I am very much interested in this lens.
