Re: 70-300L change of mind

yes, the 70-300L is indeed very good.  However, unless you are using your lens as a weapon, its highly unusual for 70-300 Non L to last you for only one year..... twice.

Its interesting what you say about focus breathing.  Fist I have heard about it on this lens.  I just tested it, and you are absolutely correct.  its only about 10-20mm longer than 70-200 f4 IS at MFD.

this is usefule information for me, as I often shoot hummingbirds with it at very close distance.  the 70-200 f4 IS is a stop faster, and lighter.
