Pros: The combo has everything I wanted. My perspective is that of an ornithologist. Got a trial lens last weekend and mostly used auto focus. Very happy with the results. The combo has everything I need to get outside (monopod is key as lenses are heavy and zooming to 600 without support is difficult. Handy backpack, can hold lenses, camera and extras. USB dock- Connection) The station is a nice addition, can't wait to learn more about how to use it for custom options. I also like the MO function, which allows manual focus after the initial autofocus Cons: Shipping announced twice 2.
