Hey Ed, have you been happy doing the switch IQ-wise? Am thinking about changing over for a trip to the Galapagos. Or possibly just getting the 1.4 for use with the 70-200 F4 IS.

Hope I'm not straying to far from the topic!

Cheer Ed. And stratobill, no this is bang on topic. I would love to hear people's thoughts between the 2 lens.

I'm looking on Flickr but it doesn't prove much tbh, you see equally great shots from each but always different scenes, subjects, FL's, crops and different PP etc! it is hard to really form a comparison.
So thoughts from those who've owned and used both are very welcome.

i have the 70-200 f4.0 IS and it is an excellent lens all around with top notch IQ, but if i had the choice now, i'd go for the 70-300L IS, i have heard good reviews and comments about this lens and it is great for travel especially if it is paired with a 24-70 f2.8II

cheerz.

So loosing a stop at the long end wouldn't bother you? If it was an F4 zoom then I probably wouldn't think twice, but England is always so overcast and miserable!
