canon_300_f4isCanon EF 300mm f/4.0 L IS USM

Pros: Sharpness (also at room temperature), contrast, bokeh, reduced minimum focusing distance, light (perfect for handheld shooting)

Cons: Lack tropicalization

Opinion: the 300 F4L IS is an excellent lens with which, thanks to its many qualities, you can experiment with excellent results in various genres: sports photography (bright enough) photo hunt (smooth but also combined with the 1.4X teleconverter) close up (thanks to the reduced distance of MAF) as well as portraits (has a great bokeh). Very handy and lightweight (weighs just over a pound), has an effective stabilization system which, although not very modern (it is the 1st generation), I was allowed in many cases to bring home shots otherwise impossible (1 / 50 "f4 of aps-c). AF fast and accurate under normal conditions, remains acceptably reliable and fast even when the lens is coupled to the multiplier 1.4X. Under these conditions, they also reduce contrast and sharpness, while remaining always in level more than good (more or less under these conditions results are obtained at slightly below those of the 100-400). Even in this case, the best solution remains that of diaphragm (if possible) of a pair of stop. Very convenient built-in lens hood, a solution that unfortunately Canon seems to have abandoned. Ultimately this is a telephoto lens that I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who is not willing to give up stabilization, wants an excellent 300mm f4 at an acceptable cost and a good 420mm f5. 6 when multiplied. PS If stabilizer and AF motor seem pretty damn loud, do not worry ... it's normal!

canon_100-400Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM

Pros: Versatility, sharpness, short distance of half a fire.

Cons: Lack of tropicalization

Opinion: And 'one of the two pump zoom in the Canon line up (the other is the 28-300 3.5-5.6L). Zoom in on the pump there is little to say ... or you hate them or love them: I belong to the latter category. Excellent up to 300mm, very good at 400mm, while remaining completely usable TA get maximum performance when diaphragmed a couple of stops. Good AF speed, excellent minimum focusing distance which makes it also suitable for close-up, good stabilizer (first generation, ergo the tripod is off), the 100-400 is one of the objectives that optically not excel in anything, but at the same time when you do without it you miss because there is nothing else on the market that combines both lightness, versatility and image quality for some uses (such as African safaris) are 100-400 of a "killer lens."

canon_70-200_f2-8_v2Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM

Pros: Sharpness, AF speed, stability, quality construction.

Cons: No, I would say the weight quite challenging but feathers between 2.8 zoom does not seem to remember ...

Opinion: A lens that is close to perfection: razor-sharp at all focal lengths and at any aperture, fast AF motor, a stabilizer which can take safely to 1/40 "at the maximum focal length (on APS-H by the way ...), one blurred nice and creamy ... so it is a must have for anyone ordeals in travel reportage, sports photos, weddings, ceremonies and events in general. Regge very good multipliers used with the 1 .4 X II is exceptional, with TC2X II has a quality not unlike that of the 100-400 though, compared to the latter, the speed performance of AF found to significantly (and understandably) less brilliant. probably using the new third-generation CT performance velocistiche AF they could benefit.
