comment:	I have bought this lens used. Enjoyed a lot the sharpness, fast focusing, and excellent briliant pictures. Even used with TC2x minolta APO II, brings stunning results. Yes, its big and heavy, and often abandoned in my house, because I just didnt want to carry this lens. But when it comes to wildlife and really shooting from far away,... this lens comes to do the job. Another shot with original minolta TC 2x, cropped: http://foto.infrastellar.net/moon.jpg If you can, take it and give it a try. If its heavy for you, you will sell without loose. Enjoy.
