I recently picked up the 70-300L on a trade and was intending to use it solely on my 6D. However, the more I read about it, the more I read people reporting that even when used on a crop sensor camera, there's resolution to spare. So I thought I'd pack my 70D and 70-300L and head off to Busch Gardens for a testing session. After dialing in the AFMA in situ, I started snapping pics. Here are a few that I liked.

Believe it or not, the shot of the Grey Crowned Crane was my favorite from the day. I think many people would immediately trash this picture because of the shadows from the palm fronds, but for me, it's what makes the image. It tells a story.

These have been cropped and downsized to 1920 on the long end. I did find that the reviewers were right. There is resolution to spare in the 70-300L and I'm ecstatic that I picked it up!

Thanks for looking!

I guess I'm the only one who is not a fan of the shadows on the face.  Whether I trashed that shot or not would depend on what other shots I had.  If I had no other decent shot, I'd keep it, but I'd rather not have the shadows over the face.  I'm not sure i get the story it tells.

I get your point about the lens, though.
