The only problem is that at places such as Mallala, just about everything is deep down in the runoff of a hairpin turn! I have never had a problem with it when I have done offroad, or rally, or hillclimbs or even places such as Phillip Island, Eastern Creek or even the Adelaide parkland.
The bonus of the Sony 400ish zoom is that it covers the same focal range as the 70-200. If I had a choice and the money, I would definitely keep it, but life dictates otherwise.
