Hi all...
If you've been reading my other post its all getting a bit confused and I think my one main issue that im still unclear about is the benefits of buying a L series telephoto.
Im considering the following options
1. Keep my Canon 75-300mm f4-5.6IS
2. Buy 100-400 L series
3. Buy 70-200 f2.8IS + 2x Converter
I should say... I want to do more nature photography and any i've done with my existing lens i've always wished I could zoom in a little more... I love the lightweight nature of the 75-300mm as I do alot of travel photography... The 100-400 obviously would be an optical step up... but it seems a monster weight wise... is it possible to hand hold in most situations???... option 3 to me is expensive and seems complicated... but at the same time i get a cracking lens and the 70-200 lone option would be usefull too...
What are your thoughts... I only do photography as a hobby and whilst I want cracking shots is buying the L series options going to be that much of a benefit... or do I just stick with what i've got and use the cash on other things... including a new tripod etc... got a velbon sherpa700... is that good enough... feel its a bit light at times...
I have toyed with this for months now... I need people to tell me the truth about what im thinking even if it seems cruel... If I have everything else right will the L series actually shine compaired to the pics I get from my 75-300mm
