Re: similar to the 500 f4?

I was by no means comparing the 300mm f/4 with the outstanding 500mm f/4 I or II. I was just mentioning how the field of view is similar for the 300mm when attached to 1.4x converter (480mm equivalent). I have owned the 100-400mm also and found the 2 lenses similar in many aspects but I really appreciate the extra light of the f/4 aperture.

Well, it actually is more like a 500mm f6.4. Not f4.

(300 x 1.6 = 480, f4 x 1.6 = f6.4)
