Quote:It is very well possible, I gave the option of a 300mm f4 with 2x TC. The camera will have a better grip/balance too. Is the size/weight of the new 300mm f4 Oly published yet?
I've done it in the past, but in my case (Nikon D100 + AFS 300 f/4) the resulting f/8 max. aperture was barely enough for the AF to work - in other words, no chances of getting BIF. One of the points of thxbb12 is that with f/4 it's reasonable to expect a very good AF speed.
As I asked for some days ago knowing the size and weight of the new lens is fundamental to place this discussion in context.
