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.

He was talking about the non L breaking. And I can see that. No one would rate a L that breaks in a year that high.
