Hello everyone, does anyone have any feedback on this lens to give? I need to know if its going to be quick enough to focus in poor light and floodlit football pitches. I will possibly look to add a teleconvertor to this in order to get the reach that's required, I appreciate any help on this.
 
I've got the mk II which I think you are referring to? I use it in very low light for indoor show jumping (amongst other things) and it's certainly fast enough for that so I should imagine floodlit footy matches should be fine!

IQ is stunning.

It's a great lens!

Hello its actually the mk. Is there much difference between the two?
 
Not used the mk 1 but it isn't supposed to be as quick to focus as the mk2. Mk2 iq is supposed to be better but again I've nit used the mk1.

Has anyone used the MK 2 for football?
