I am in the market now following horse racing which needs the reach, but 5am workouts in the dark requires 2.8. The mark 2, even used is a financial burden I cannot justify, so I’m happy to see this review. Thanks for being thorough enough to answer my questions before shopping.

Love this lens. I have had 2 different, canon 400mm f2.8 IS USM and the II lens and they were Great! But they are huge, I’m getting older and traveling with the 400mm and all the rest of my gear is too much. I also hand hold the lens alot because it always seems what I’m shooting is moving. I have had the original 300mm and now have the new 300mm f2.8L IS II USM. I use this with the 1.4III and 2X-III, I prefer not any extender. But I found that the new canon extenders work very well with the 300mm. I am trying to decide if I should just get the new 200-400mm f/4L IS USM w the built in 1.4X (which is pretty big itself) That would take care of all that lens/extender switching to get the correct mm for the shot? But as you stated the 300 is such a great lens, I can’t decide. I did just come back from shooting Yellowstone in winter (got to do that trip) 1 day I ran around shooting a Red Fox hunting in virgin snow hand holding the 1DX – 300mm with a 2X and got some great shots. Thanks for the post, any thought on the 200-400mm lens?

Dear Dvir, your review is a great read an very informative. I am by far no telephoto and no wildlife shooter. Your pictures draw me into the read. They are just awesome.

Thanks Gunnar. I am glad that the photography aided the appeal of the article.
