I have 6D and 7D and Many Canon zooms including 70-200L f4 IS, 100-400 and 28-300L. If the 70-300 you suggested weighs 2.1 lbs, how do you suggest it's a travel lens? I find the lenses I mentioned heavy to carry around, but, then again, I'm old.

Thanks for your response.

I tend to agree with the above sentiment. "Travel" tends to presuppose light(er) weight, and the 70-200L f/4 is already pushing it, never mind the 70-300L. You want range and even lighter weight for travel, try the optically-good EF-S 55-250STM IS at 375 grams.
