Lightweight 300 mm prime

In reply to jorden mosley, 5 months ago

Rather than buy the 100-300 zoom to get 300mm I would rather just buy a prime for that focal length. If it meant keeping the weight less than 16 ounces I could live with f5.6 but would want the lens to be sharp wide open. If it could collapse to take up less space when not in use that would be nice too.
