Now that the Version II 70-200's are rolling in has anyone tried it at max zoom with a 1.4x TC? I'm very interested to see how it's 280mm f4 compares to a 300L f4.
If you havn't tried it yet.......DO IT!

I've been struggling with it and keep looking for somewhere to rest my elbows!

I've delt with handholding a Siggy 120-300 so the 70-200 and a 1.4 will be far less tiring. 5D MKII I 1D MKIII GEAR LIST & FEEDBACK
