Pros:
|
Nice colours, contrast and sharpness is pretty good. Light weight and very versatile for travel use. Flare resistance is decent too. Simply the only reason I kept my 20D.
|
|
Cons:
|
none really, but if i must, probably the lack of weather seal and only a EF-S mount.

People say a picture says a thousand words. (I'll be realistic and say that I'm lazy to type. :P

There are times i wish it was lighter, but looking at the pics, i forgive it immediately.

|
Pros:
|
Light, Sharp most of the time, build in hood is N.I.C.E.!, short minimum focusing distance.
|
|
Cons:
|
The IS seems to be not quite as effective as i had expected, coming from a 70-200 IS. The 300 f4 IS mechanism seems to be more jumpy and it's apparent when viewing through the view finder.
|

Poured through the reviews and the consensus on this lens is stella! I agree, most of the time, except on the IS. It is really quite flaky.

|
Pros:
|
Build, Shooting response, and sure footed AF
|
|
Cons:
|
need 2 hands for almost all operations. quite a pain to review images with a 70-200 attached.
|
|
|
Came from a 20D, and MkIII certainly is attractive. But $$$ don't grow on trees here .....
So, taking into consideration the price/performance ratio, i got a used set with 18k actuations.
So far so good.
