Alastair,
I used the sliding lens barrel focusing f 6.8 along with the 400mm of
similar build and both very fine indeed! Beside being very economical and
light weight for hand holding when using the pistol grip and shoulder stock
I'd for it hands down unless you've won the lottery and money means nothing!
;-)
I used them several Olympics and Commonwealt games events and I'm sure you'd
be very satisfied if you were to purchase one.
cheers,
ted
