EF 300 f/4 L IS opinions

If I took your comment out of context, then my apologies.  I do admit I read your comment rather quickly, and my initial impression is that you thought the images were, basically, trash.  I was posting that it is possible to get good images of very small birds, which the first 2 were, with this lens.

In my post which included the images, I stated that again I was an amateur and this was my first "L" lens and was able to capture those images pretty easily.  I thought the topic was the inability to get good images of small birds with this lens, when I was able to.

Anyway, I apologize for calling you rude.  I know I'll never be a pro photographer, and quite honestly, birding isn't really my thing.  I focus more on mammals with my wildlife photography.

Here are a few shots I took with my Sigma 100-400 C last June in Yellowstone.  I was never happy with the sharpness and it was one of the reasons why I got rid of it.  I still like the pics tho

no disrespect intended, but those shots are all useless and i'd toss them in the delete bucket! they might be ok for others but not for me. they don't prove anything! you just cannot argue with physic's law! but if that makes you happy, i have nothing against it and wish your happiness. no more argument is necessary, IMO.

Wow, that was rude...

Please show and/or explain to me what would be acceptable to you? Again, I'm an amateur and, for me and many others who actually matter to me, think the images are pretty good.

Your comment just comes off as very snobbish and extremely rude, but what do I know.

Teejay, i don't think we know each other and i didn't mean to disrespect you personally, that is clearly stated in my post! it is also not nice to call people rude without reading the post completely and understanding what is it all about! it is only a lens and photos we are talking about, nothing personal. i think i am within my right to like a photo or a lens and so do you, although we have different standards and likes and dislikes. i was presenting to OP my personal experiences about lenses and that is what we do in this forum, never demanding from anyone to accept my opinions to purchase a particular lens or otherwise, i hope you understand that much. so, please don't call me "rude" without comprehending what i have wrote in my post because that becomes personal. if i don't like a pictures then i don't, so be it, that doesn't mean i am offending anyone, but i don't have the right to call you "rude, snobbish" or other personal disrespecting words. can you you point where i was rude to you personally and called you offensive words in my post, aside from expressing i don't care for those photos you have posted, please?
