| The little Brother to the EF400f2.8L IS USM. Equally as sharp but less than half the weight which makes this lens very desirable and practical. Works amazingly well with the 2.0x Extender giving 600mm F5.6, or 960mm equivalent with a crop body. We have found the same situation with regards to quality while using an extender as we enjoyed with the 400 f2.8. Unless you check the EXIF data it is very difficult to tell at times if one was attached.
Astonishingly sharp, half the weight and half the retail price of the 400 f2.8 for 25% less magnification. We tested the lens in similar situations to it's big Brother and quality wise we couldn't tell the difference. At 5.6 lbs, it's also a lot more practical if you have to do any walking to your subject.
Dollar for dollar, the EF300f2.8L IS USM is our best rental value yet.
