Afternoon boys and girls. Not often I posted in this section - if ever! I'm usually out and about snapping!
Would really appreciate your thoughts on this though, especially if you have owned both these lenses!
I have a 400 5.6. Love it, great bit of kit. Even made a little review of it here - http://www.ae-photography.co.uk/canon-400mm-f5.6-lens-review.html
Anyway I'm toying with idea of selling my 120-300 and getting a Canon 300 2.8. The Mark II is too pricey but the Mark 1 I can probably just stretch to.
I know without TC the lens is a corker. But 300mm can sometimes be a bit short. However with a Canon 1.4 TC (II) would you say IQ and AF speed is better or at least as good as the 400 5.6?
I've seen a few thread here and there and some comparisons but nothing really real life. So wondered if a few of you could chip in.
cheers
