My days shooting sports are over, I\'m now officially an old hobbyist (for several years in fact) and am just coming back to photography after a 4 year absence. One of the first things I saw was this new 70-300L. In my bag, I have the old 75-300IS and a 100-400L and thinking maybe just dump those and lighten the bag. Has anyone else been thru that train of thought that could offer some advice.
The 70-300L is pretty awesome (and look at TDP\'s flare test where it does the best out of 70-200 f/4 IS or not, 70-300 IS non-L and Tamron 70-300VC). That said, if you need 400mm the 100-400mm will for sure deliver more detail to you, 100mm is way to much to make up for and it\'s not exactly like the 100-400L is terrible. Even the 300 2.8 IS can\'t be upscaled to match the 100-400L (although the 300 2.8 will do better if you add at 1.4x TC ).
