So i went out and shot the 70-300 and 50-200 non SWD. I have to say i really like the 50-200 alot. Great feel and IQ is nice. I have a question for. It appears the 50-200 SWD is coming out in a couple weeks, but is almost $600 usd more then the 50-200 non SWD. Do you think its worth it? The non SWD lenses seems to focus pretty well. WIth the difference in cost i can get the 1.4 tc and half of the 50mm f2. lol. Just wanted to see what everyone thinks. No one can tell me if the SWD version has changed optically in any way either.
Thanks,
Todd
