the new 300 MTF don\'t look all that different, bare, to likely make too much difference, so in this case probably mostly comes down to the IS and when a 2x TC is on it (new one much better IQ? much better AF? -with 2x TC)
I owned the vers.1 300 f/2.8L IS and thought about buying another copy but the price had gone up so much since I sold mine I couldn\'t justify it for my limited use.
However with the introduction of the vers.II used prices of the vers. 1 may get reasonable. I would be quite satisfied with the vers.1 performance. I haven\'t been disatisfied with the vers.1 500 & 600 performance either so I would rather look at the 800 than replace them with a vers. II.
