Hi, Rudra, yes, I am planning on getting one. I know it will not be used very often, it's closest focus is 25ft and there are difficulties with focus at f11 but I intend it for landscape work, and shy animals/birds. My arthritis now prevents me from using the best telephoto - two legs- from getting close to various stuff so I thought I might try a longer reach lens. I also thought that "live view" should help with focus - any thoughts are very welcome. It will be used on a Manfrotto 055V tripod with Arca Swiss B1 ball head, which I think should be sturdy enough.
