I was thinking about getting one on eBay. The older version of course. So naturally I tried to play with one when I got the chance at the Exp Plus Photo 2016.
I shoot regularly with my 70-200 but this 300mm is on another level. I am glad I tried it. I don't think I can shoot an event with this lens. Not the entire event anyway. The 70-200 is versatile enough but this 300mm is quite specialized I imagine. It won't be too feasible to carry around this 300mm on location for 3 hours or longer, unless you have an assistant. For any extended shooting, I think a monopod is a must just so your arms and back can thank you later.
I certainly appreciate the 70-200, more so than ever.

The picture doesn't do justice to what's going on out there. I shall declare a snow emergency now. Everybody goes home. UPDATE:...
