Not sure if the autofocus will work with this lens and a Rebel T4i or 60D, but honestly, with this expensive lens, it is more appropriate to have it mounted to a 1DX or something high-end like that.<br />Jeff Cable Photography Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135764067295259155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-53893561115776175352013-01-22T18:22:54.081-08:002013-01-22T18:22:54.081-08:00Will auto focus still work on say the T4i or the 6...Will auto focus still work on say the T4i or the 60D with the 1.4 converter being used.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-86333031805347630892013-01-04T11:26:17.936-08:002013-01-04T11:26:17.936-08:00If Canon could in under $5000 and earn a scant pro...If Canon could in under $5000 and earn a scant profit, they would own the market.

I can shoot at ISO 5000 fairly clean with the 1DX and 5D Mark III. With that said, there may be times when an aperture of 2.8 is needed. I promise to give this a try as soon as I can get a real (not hand built) unit to play with.Jeff Cable Photography Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135764067295259155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-87711527480230238002012-10-14T15:12:47.513-07:002012-10-14T15:12:47.513-07:00Jeff, did you get a chance to use the lens in nigh...Jeff, did you get a chance to use the lens in nighttime conditions at all? do you think this lens would work for evening football games? I'm using the 70-200mm 2.8 (with IS turned off) and am relegated to shooting 1/800 sec, F/2.8 at ISO 3200-4000 depending on how good the lighting is. I'm thinking that the focal range of 200-400mm would be AWESOME, but pushing ISO 5000 for night football games would make for too much noise... your thoughts?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460609886086326283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-5947093247440812692012-09-05T18:38:26.144-07:002012-09-05T18:38:26.144-07:00This lens has been "upcoming" for 2 year...This lens has been "upcoming" for 2 years now and they keep postponing.
