I've noticed that alot of togs seem to love this lens.
I'm thinking about selling a limb to buy one but I do have a question.
First off, this is what I'm looking at http://www.cameraworld.co.uk/ViewProdDetails.asp?prod_code=PON07J000029&Prod_name=Sigma+70-200mm+f%2F2.8+APO+EX+DG+MACRO+HSM+II+with+FREE+2x+Converter&CAT_CODE=2&SUBCAT_CODE=204 Its the 70-200 f2.8 but comes with a free x2 tele convertor.
I currently have the good old sigma 70-300 f4-5.6, so my question is that with the 70-200 with x2 convertor it will become a 140-400 f5.6, will this struggle the same as my 70-300mm or will the superior glass and focus speed still make it a significant upgrade??
The lens will mainly be used for motorsports (hence wanting that extra reach) although I want to get into sports abit more aswell so wont be using the teleconvertor for that.
I just don't want to splash out that amount of money and not be happy about it.
Thanks.
