That's cool. Perhaps I'll get a 1.4x TC in the future when I get a FF camera body, but for now, this will probably be good enough. I just sold my older telephoto yesterday... now I just need someone to bite on my 100mm f/2.8 macro and the 50mm f/1.8 II.

While a great lens, sadly, this just wasn't one I wanted so no new lenses for me this time. If a 16-35II had come up, though, I'd have been all over it.
Yes, I was able to get it during the sale. If you're interested in it, just let me know, and I'll pass those savings onto you.
