Jim, I've had this lens for several years and am very pleased with it. I
know it doesn't have a tripod collar, but I've gotten along ok without it. I
use it with a 1.4XS convertor and like those images as well. With the 1.4XS
attached, you lose autofocus. One thing you won't immediately appreciate is
its' "small" size and "light" weight ( relative to the bigger, heavier f
2.8, 300mm lens). Hope this helps.
