Quick review of the 300mm F2.8

Well, that's what it was going to be before my wife decided her needs were greater :(

So, on with the review.

It's the usual Canon L white with the normal coloured stripe near the top. Feels heavy enough to know it's quality but not heavy enough that you couldn't tow it all day. Not had a chance to try it in anger yet but next duck I see I'll run it over to see how well it performs.

Action is smooth as anything, comes complete with a cover for the spare wheel. Floor is a composite plastic stuff, built to last.

Last time my toy fund was looking good it was the horse to go in it :help:

Always the way, last time I had enough money for a new toy, the wife decided WE needed a new UPVC front door.


Now I'm planning an upgrade soon, and just wondering what else she can find that WE need!

:bonk:

Strangely, and I kid you not, that (looks to be) is the very same
model in the same "livery" that upper management bought as well :(

Could be a struggle with automatic Focus but a manual Mondeo might pull it.

I got mine secondhand but its more a camoflage colour, comes with its own storage box and its pretty heavy to lug around all day!!

Hope the horse appreciates it and gives you the opportunity to get some good shots :)
