Right, that is possibly because I been using stunning 300/F2.8L IS with any tc\'s lot before 500L. Not sure if any other Canon lens impressed me as much with optical performance...
The 300 f/2.8 IS handles difficult exposure situations very well, while maintaining good contrast, colours and bokeh, without a need for manic postprocessing, assuming camera exposure was done reasonably well. See examples below for some fairly tough exposure conditions I\'ve encountered today.
In fact, because of its f/2.8 nominal aperture, much lower weight/bulk and faster focusing, whenever possible at all I will use 300 f/2.8 as opposed to 500 f/4 or even 500 f/4.5.
