Would you consider picking up a lens like this if at a good price ? I can get one of these for prob 50% of what the IS version cost. Now obviously there is a couple of questions that comes to mind, like
1) Is this thing at all usable without IS (esp with 1.4tc)
2) Are these lenses simply too old / slow AF , unrepairable if something happens etc etc.
I currently mostly use a 300f4L with 1.4tc (which never has enough reach). Will be used mostly for birds and always on a tripod with gimbal type head (still closely following the wimberley vs mongoose "discussion" :D). I know the expression "buy nice or buy twice"but at R89,000 here in SA for the IS version, nice is a little hectic.
any thoughts ?
