300 f/2.8 IS has always been one of my favourite BIF lenses, although it often lacks reach, or it requires hard work to compensate for its modest FL.
No doubt, 500 II (+ 1.4xTC III) is generally a more productive BIF lens (combo), but there are times when 500mm is way too long.......that is when 300 f/2.8 IS shines.
Here is a backlit tern in flight shot which 300 f/2.8 IS MkII handled well.
