Neil, I have never used this lens, but if it is a freiends lens, hopefully he would let you try before you buy.

That way you can see if you are happy with the quality it produces.


Goodluck

Neil - it really depends on the kind of photography you are contemplating. For sports it would not be ideal with f/5.6 at 400mm. Keep in mind that the higher the focal length the more any movement at the camera (i.e. shake) will be magnified at the end of the lens.

If you wish to see how this lens performs go to:
