Went on an extended trip to N.E. Oklahoma and found these turtles sunning on a rock. Taken at Spavinaw Lake wildlife management area. Would be curious to know the age of the large turtle. Taken...

I do not have the 6D, just the T2i. But in my old film days shooting with a Pentax 67 I would screw on a Tiffen Soft F/X filter to the lens. The effect was usually effective in toning down skin...

I just make a hybrid ship Canon T2i with Nikon 75-150 Series E zoom  when necessary. Mike

Howard, I kind of feel the same way about the slow pace of Canon's lens updates. When my T2i was purchased way back (2009) the main reason for me choosing Canon at that point in time was not the...

Hey zigi_S, That is an eastern bluebird and here is another pic of one. Your bird pics have excellent detail. How did you get so close? Mine of the bluebird was a pretty heavy crop with the...

   Decided to emphasize the color blue in pics above. Digirame it looks like you highlighted green really well in the parade shots.

500mm F5.6L IS lens weighing less than four pounds and capable of 1:3 magnification. Just do it!

Better yet take a pic @ f5.6 and 1/15 of a second at 300mm handheld. Then post it and see what responses you get.

Everybody else who has replied pretty much echoes what my experience has been with the lens for the past three years. Canon right now has a special offer on the zoom till the end of the month. I...

My 70-300L is used the most, but a Nikon 70-150 Series E zoom w/adapter on a T2i is the most fun. Some pics take with the unholy combo below.

a few custom modes on the selector dial (C1, C2) to save your favorite custom settings. I believe the T4i body still does not have built-in wireless flash control, correct? That would be a nice...

70-300L Clipping the moon 70-300L  Hey Digirame, Really enjoyed your bird and flower pics. #10 is a nice evening landscape capture too. Mike

Meyer, Thanks for the comment. Everything shown in the gallery was shot handheld (although I do own a tripod). Both zooms have really effective image stabilization. Center focus point on the T2i...

Meyer,     Been there and done that. Still using a T2i along with a 15-85 and ended up with a 70-300L after much agonizing. My brother has the non-L which I did shoot with for a little while. The...

...that Sigma, Tamron or Tokina have not stepped up to the plate and produced a relatively affordable high quality 400 or 500mm f5.6 telephoto prime with IS. Never hurts to dream a little.

Went on a weeklong getaway to Panama City Beach. Really nice down there and hard to come back home, especially this time of year. 70-300L  70-300L  70-300L  15-85 IS 15-85 IS  Mike

You might want to read this review http://www.canonrumors.com/reviews/ef-70-300-f4-5-6l-is-review/. No direct comparison was made but he did use it in Africa.

Thanks Dave. May I ask what lens are you using for the bird shots? The chickadee image is really nice.
