Hi ultrabigal,

I know three of our members , Mark McCall, JFrancho and Worm357 have or used the non-VC version of this lens on their 20D/30D/40D/XTi's , from what they reported, they were quite happy with the image quality and build quality, taking into account the lens' moderate price and extreme zoom range.

Using an extender on a 11x zoom lens is not that good an idea IMO, and at the longest end AF will certainly not work on your 40D if the extender transfers it's existence to the camera.

...€0.02...

Kindest regards!

...BTW... *I* feel 28mm isn't wide enough on a 1.6x crop body, but YMMV...

...and you do know this beast is coming ??

...just €0.02 more...

Kindest regards!

I'll guess the release price will be around $589.00 and it will be available by Christmas.....
