I've rented this lens along with the 1.4 tele and am just learning my way with it.
Without any PP other than a resize, I must say that the sharpness of this shot has me blown away:

And this is sort of like a 200% crop... I did a 100%, and then cropped it even more, and it still looks pretty sharp to me. I can even see detail on the birds' wings.

I'm considering buying this combo with an eye towards a possible African safari next year.
