Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM 35mm Primes

 

This is the sharpest and has the highest contrast of any lens I have used. The EF 85 F1.2L, 70-200mm 2.8L, EF 100-400mm 4.5L a EF 35 f1.4L just doesn't match in contrast or resolution of the EF300 IS 2.8L. This is particularly noticeable on the human...

Best contrast and resolution lens I have ever usedVery well madeWeather sealed Very fast focusServo tracking work extremely wellIS is the best I have ever usedFlaring is very well controlled

Lens cap is a pain to use.Sticks out like a sore thumb Could be too heavy and too big for over night hiking tripsLooks expensive, both the lens and the lens container

What more can you say about this lens than what has already been plastered on the net? It's white, it's "L" glass, and it really is tack sharp!

300mm @ f2.8 is great! Superb sharpness!Using my 1.4x I get a 420 f4 Using my 2x I get a 600 f5.6

Price, but you definitely get what you pay for.Draws some serious attention

Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM 35mm Primes

 

This lens is a compromise, which is not a bad thing. Especially since it is a very, very, good compromise. It is light enough to carry and hike with, small enough to go in your carry-on on a regular airliner, long enough for many (not all) wildlife...

light weight and compact for a super telephoto. Superior sharpness

price, you do need the teleconverters for wildlife photography, not long enough for birds (except big tame waterbirds)

Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM 35mm Primes

 

This is probably the sharpest mid-telephoto lens I have ever used. THe optics are outstanding. Specifically, the sharpness, colors and contrast are unbeatable. The images are similar from f2.8 to f11. I have used this lens alone and with the 1.4x TC....

Sharp images wide open at 2.8

The only weakness is the weight. Although one can handhold this lens, it is difficult to do for more than a few minutes at a time
