Ok, here's the crack. I shoot a wide variety of subjects but I do photograph a lot of soccer for my sons team and put them on a website. Originally I used my Tamron 18-200 which just didn't cut the mustard so I bought the Canon 70-300 IS USM. Now this is a cracking lens, sharp and fast AF but there are many occasions when an extra 100mm would really save the day (when I'm behind the wrong goal )
For my sins, I seem to have acquired a bit of spare cash and have been looking at the Canon 100-400 L IS. I've read all the reviews on FM and it looks like a definite option with the only drawback, it seems to me, is the push/pull action sucks in dust. I know people will say, why not a prime? Well, I am not a sherpa and they are too much mullah. I need hand held.
Before I indulge I though I'd ask members opinions on my thoughts and reasoning and even more helpful if anyone has this lens - what do they think. Many thanks in anticipation.
regards
