I prefer 70-200 f4 + 1.4TC over 70-300L.

I once owned Tamron 70-300VC, Canon 70-300IS(non L) but sold them all when I bought 70-200 f4 (non IS) with 1.4TC.

IQ is great, light enough to hold all day long, cheaper than 70-200 f4 IS , 70-300L.

I have no problem to shoot (not kill ... birds without IS.

It's even better when I shoot flower without TC.

I prefer 70-200 f4 + 1.4TC over 70-300L.

This image was taken with 70D + 70-200 f4 non IS + 1.4III
