Combine that with a 2x teleconverter and we're talking some serious zoom. Probably have to pick up a monopod for it, but that will likely be my big purchase next offseason, unless another telephoto lens comes out for a decent price.
Anyways, here's the proof that I desperately need a better lens:

You saw more eagles there than I did the last two trips put together. I'd call it a success. Don't get too bent on the 2x as the solution. Fast 2.8 glass at 200mm is still better than a slow 500mm for going birds/wildlife. The lens you are looking at with a 2x would be pretty darn slow and I don't think you would be happy with the results. Save up the coin and get the 50-200 2.8 then add a teleconverter!
Thanks for the advice! I was reading some of the reviews for the lens and they were saying it was a bit slow. Is 400mm enough for eagles? I guess now that I think about it it seems like it would be. I think I've caught the bird and wildlife photo bug too.
