Thanks for the info guys, shame about the 100mm though, sure i can find a use for it though on days dont want to carry the 400mm

ok..... Anymore? AF Speed, IQ, etc? All L lenses will be used with, 70-300 F2.8 IS mainly i would think, but may get a 100-400 too, i know not really fast enough to get decent use from it though Also now thinking about using it on 100 F2.8 IS L Macro

Hi All, I have never used an extender, and was wondering if the purchase was worth it.... An EF 1.4 x II goes for around £200 secondhand, and an EF 1.4 x for £100 So my question is....in real world everyday use, what is the major differences??

I have the IS version, due to the condition where my hands shake all the time, i need it really, I had a Sigma 70-200 F2.8 without IS, and had to be careful not to get any shake. I know this isn't a problem that you have mentioned, but an example of just how much you can get away with with the...

Echo what most people have said, i bought the older version of this lens several years back, was great......but the Canon is stunning. First L lens i owned, and because of that I have replaced all but 2 of my lenses with the L series glass. The lens makes huge difference to shooting, and 24-70...

That being the other factor...how quickly the 70-300 L drops in price.....cant remain at that price for too long. To answer other question, will not need a 400 prime due to not shooting at that length all the time, want the extra length it gives, wildlife, and such, but I don't exclusively...

Nothing wrong with that, I've slowly replaced all my Sigma's for Canon L's, can't beat them, can get close, and for the money they are fantastic some of them, but even the older Canon's still show the quality. I'm still not sure as to where to go, why didn't Canon just make another 100-400 L...

Yeah something I will need to try, I have used it on old lenses, old Nikon's for example, but not on lens that size. Like the idea of being able to lock it any length, didn't realise had that feature, but i will be sure to give it a test if i can find one around

I try not to!!! Got this weird condition where my hands shake constant, which i do fear for the future for taking photos, may end everything. Really depends on the light, at 400 i really try not to have anything below 1/300sec, but i can do slower with the IS, think gone much much lower, but...

Interesting test.....think i need to see them properly to know just how much that extra sharpness means, a little can be a lot, if you compare my Sigma 50 F1.4 to my Canon 35 F1,4 L, it's only a little difference, but can make huge difference. I am starting to see that the IS could be the issue...

Along what i was thinking, 70-300 is very pricey, considering can pick up a 100-400 secondhand for around £900 these days, but yes, the 4 stop IS is one of the things swaying me off the 100-400 a little. There are good points and bad about them all, i think it is a toss up between the 100-400...

Hi All, Looking to upgrade my Sigma 120-400 for something bit better, starting to notice the difference between this and my other lenses now, so here comes the issue..... Was looking at a straight upgrade to the Canon 100-400 L IS. Then thought about the 300 F4 L IS, and maybe a 1.4x...

ahhhhh you beauty!!!! I knew i had seen one somewhere, completely forgot about that amazing site!!!! Only problem now going to be buying other things while im at it Thanks

Hi All, Recently lost the eyepiece off my 1D Mark 2n....anyone know what model number it is???? Having real issues trying to find one, or at least what size it is so I can get a cheaper one just so I have something, i know there's the Hoodman Eyecup, but at nearly £30 not too sure, as I use...
