sell canon 70-300 & buy 85mm

[Bob]

Just bought a 70-200f4 is now thinking of selling 70-300 is to buy 85mm Do you think this would be a good move or should I just hold on to the 70-300 for a while longer

It depends how often you use the 200mm - 300mm range I suppose! If you are interested in wildlife and other distant things, then keep it, if it's not getting any use then sell!

Not bothered about wildlife photos so dont use it much at all

It depends what you shoot.

I'd have a 85 f/1.2 any day over a 300mm f/2.8

 

[Bob]

It would have to be 85 f1.8 for me

Well if that's the case, sell it! Rather money in your pocket than a lens gathering dust in a drawer!
