What lens did you finally settle on MPH?
I just got a x2 convertor for the 70-200mm, which will take me up to 400mm at f5.4 (with IS all the way). Looking forward to some good surfing in April.

Well Deemac,after a lot of humming and hawing i finally went for the Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical.
Several guys on Astro forums have this lens for widefield shots and have been impressed
with the sharpness and one guy liked it so much it is his "goto" lens for all his landscape photography and i read a similar comment in the photoplus magazine review where it was given the best value award comparing its sharpness favourably with lenses twice the price.
Just need some decent weather to get out and try it out properly.
Yes, the f2.8 I have with the 70-200m goes to f5.4 with the x2 extender fitted (so the faster the lens the better). I'd loose 1 stop with the x1.4
I figured this was way more cost effective than buying a 100-400mm Canon L lens at f4 (at about +£1000 cost and a LOT less heavy glass to lug around as well!!)
