Pros:I always use good lens with 1.4x without any problems, in the passerines shots I always use it with the diaphragm 10 -11 yield is also excellent with aperture 6.3 with 1.4 is great at good prices is very light weight the series is only 3kg weighs 3,850-series is 2 weighs 3180
Cons:perhaps in strong backlight suffers is with the tripod is not very necessary especially if you shoot with a 4.5 times higher being 1.4 becomes 6.3 with many cameras canon reads up to 5.6 but with the series and now 1d 5d mk3 is fine and at least with my 1DSMK III is quite fast even though the law only the central point for the spare parts we hope that will not break
Opinion:say that I use it for 3 years now has not given me problems ever one thing that bothers me is the lens hood when I used the 500 fd pull the hood was very practical in both the lens is put in place the hood you can also do some hand-held shots before the weight is felt without 1.4 is very bright and fast especially with my camera
Pros:Lightness, clarity, detachment of the plans, the possibility of using freehand for short periods.
Cons:No spare parts if it breaks, no stabilizer
Opinion:I have about a week this wonderful lens that I was lucky to find them for sale here on Juza. rnEra just what I wanted. A 500 that did not cost a fortune but it was equally clear and also lighter than its successori.rnrnNe are really excited about it. The quality is excellent even with a 1.4x (I use the Kenko DGX). Excellent speed of focus. Perfect separation from the fund. I find it very three-dimensional compared to what I get with the 300.
Pros:Light weight, optical quality, autofocus speed, resistance to flare
Cons:lack stabilizer, difficulties in finding spare parts if it breaks.
Opinion:I have very little to this point, but you will immediately notice its large optical quality, lightweight, can be used freehand but lacks the stabilizer so the task requires more attention. AF is a chip limiter and the MAF is even more. can not recommend this light! as long as you find it at a great price, parts are hard to find. if I could go back I would do it hands down ... AF confirm that the kenko pro 300 DGX continues to function and the quality and speed is affected insignificantly in .....
Cons:No stabilization, sensitivity to aberrations in backlight (worse than the 300 f/2.8 IS), same story absence spare parts in case of breakage.
Opinion:I went from 300 to 500 Is f/2.8 f/4.5. For me it is a fantastic lens! Believe that the perfect focus on aps-C is the 500mm. And 'the right balance between focal and weight for use in freehand. Who's more, with the Kenko 1.4x DGX the pro f continues to run smoothly. The speed af is very close to the 500 f / 4 Is, despite the old age ... I sold it to move to 400 C, but if I had to buy back a telephoto lens to replace my 400 f/5.6 with a limited number, of course not riprenderei 500mm. These are my personal impressions ...
