Hi guys, My 300 2.8 IS finally arrived but I haven't had much time to give this beauty a good work out.... However after work I managed to get to a local watering hole before dark... Here's a few from the outting, note all shots taken with Canon 2x TC (simply for reach). Black Winged Stilt:  Pair of Brown Honey Eaters:  Lemon bellied Flycatcher:  Juvenile Whistling Kite:  One thing I can say about this lens is even with the 2x TC sharpness is still very very good... sharper than my 600 with 2x. I will post up more this weekend hopefully  Thanks for looking, William |

Wow, these are really sharp William. You can weld the 2X to your lens.  |

These are fantastic! Can you come up with 100% crop comparisons of the bare 600mm vs the 300+2x?
Hey, Neon, didn't you used to use this lens? Or was it the f/4L?

Congrats on the new walk-around glass William.
It sure still looks good with the 2x TC.

Hi William, Those are impressive shots with your 300 + tc. What is the body?
On Ding's avatar, your head dress makes you look like a royalty. Cool! Fits the background.

Wonderful set Will! The 300 is also handy for Motorsport Shots! Thanks Martin! That's the other reason I wanted this lens for sports, portrait, and even macro! |
