Re: Canon EF 300mm f/2,8 L IS II USM - beast of a lens. New review!

The big difference to me is when used with converter. The 300 2.8 IS II is incredible with 2xIII TC. Also it is more well balanced and the small difference in weight is a big difference when hand held. I owned canon 600 f4 is and also the nikkor 600 vr. Compared to this two beast the 300 II looks very very good. Not the same for the first version.

Those are my feel after using 600 IS, 300 2.8 IS, 600 VR, 200-400 VR2, 300 2.8 IS II for years: the 300 II at his 2.3kg is my choice.
