Re: 70-300L change of mind

It was the none L 70-300…which is a nice lens for what it is.

The sealing against moisture is just not good enough when you camp in the rain forest for two months (was the first one hitting the bin) and neither does it like sand when working in the desert. I agree I don’t pamper my equipment but then they are tools for me which have to earn me my living. Whereas my L lenses often are not that much better in terms of IQ they really take bad conditions and treatment much better than their less expensive relatives.
