Canon 70-300L vs 100-400 vs 400 5.6

[Tonji Ramos]

I added this section to our gear gallery.

It is a comparison between three easy to carry birding lenses.

The 70-300L, 100-400L and the 400 f 5.6

It may be useful for those thinking about these lenses.

I was in Manila Bay on a small banca moving at around 8 knots or so when I took these pictures with the 70-300L.

The lens was impressive in this situation. Usually it is very hard to get good shots on a moving boat. But I had a lot of keepers. The lens proved to be up to the conditions with its light weight, fast focus, and very sharp optics.
