->> I've hated every 2x teleconverter I've ever tried. Canon or Nikon. I am curious to see some real user reviews on this new design.

->> Would love to see some "real life" samples of the 2.0tc. I'm personally not as interested in the new 300 vrII. I have the VRI version and am very happy with it.

->> I'm still holding off for a 35 f/1.4 AF-s, but losing hope quickly here...

a TC2.0 would be a nice addition for a 70-200 or longer glass for daytime sports.

->> Nic, I think several new 1.4 lenses are imminent (85/35/28). The 35 f2.0 is quite good in my opinion and available used (or even new) for reasonable cost.

->> Michael,

Agreed. I recently picked up an 85 f/1.4 for stupid cheap and it's near mint and Ive been considering the 35, but I know a newer version will appear right after.

Though as I'm doing multimedia, I may just get a 35 on a 5DII.
