In reply to birdbrain, 3 months ago

FWIW, Artie Morris loves his (granted he's using a 1DX, and a 1dIV before that).

http://www.birdsasart-blog.com/2012/03/07/gear-evaluation-the-canon-300mm-f2-8l-is-ii/.

He has other blog posts on this lens combo as well, but this one was his initial review from about a year ago (maybe more).

I'm planning on this being my next lens purchase.

Loren
