Thoughts on this 70-300L so far, comparing with my 24-105L in some aspects:
- Blazing fast AF.
- IS is extremely efficient and effective.
- Very very sharp.
- Surprisingly good (in my humble opinion) bokeh even at f/5.6.
- Chose this over the 70-200 f/4L IS (difference of SG$30?) since f/5.6 is just a stop over it, but I've 100mm more reach available. Aperture at 200mm is f/5, not too far off from the 70-200's f/4 I guess!
- For the first time, I don't feel the lack of reach, and found myself backing down to maybe 260-280-ish mm sometimes.
- Size-wise, this compact glass (attached to cam with hood reversed) fits into my Vanguard Up-Rise 28 shoulder bag.
