My Favorite Lens

 

I LOVE THIS LENS!! I find myself trying really hard to use it as much as possible, not only for the obvious reason (the reach provided by the 300mm focal length), but for the spectacular resolution at all apertures, and the wonderful compression at...

Outstanding!

 

I've used this lens for a year now. I had the Canon 100-400 zoom which I used to shoot birds. The 300mm is like night and day. It's faster and much sharper than the zoom. Either Canon extender works well even in low light, which is quite common when...
