True, they are expensive and heavy, but you might change your mind
about them once you have shot extensively with them. The image quality
from my 300/2.8 and 500/4 is something that must be seen first-
hand...they
are really impressive with their contrast, color and sharpness.
Witness this shot of Valentino Rossi at the Laguna Seca MotoGP...shot
handheld with my 300/2.8.
