Pros: Quality materials and assembly, sharpness, usability, well multipliable, lightning FAST AF, well-thought-out limiter, stabilizer that makes the difference
Cons: Ridiculous kickstand hook
Opinion: I have been using this lens for some time on a 1DX mk 2, I had the opportunity to try it on an R5, 1Dxmk1, 5Dmk3 and the luck to mount it on an R3 and test everything well in a session of a couple of days in Slovenia. What can I say, in terms of sharpness, micro-contrasts, general image quality is really a superlative optics, alongside the little sister second version IS, in the field, there are no appreciable differences (then for sure in the laboratory you will see the technology of the second version, but if you shoot aviofauna at 20 thousand ISO in my opinion everything gets a little confused), the stabilizer does its job very well (who says it is noisy and poorly performing probably had a defective or bad copy tight, I can assure that in video with the microphone you do not hear the stabilizer, as you do not hear the AF), using it with the 2X (I recommend, always Canon and always third version) there are no appreciable decays with regard to the general quality and AF speed. If you use it smooth it sees us practically in the dark, if you multiply it 2x it becomes an f5.6 only as brightness, but you see that the architecture is f2.8, detaches the planes in a decisive but soft way (not like the Sony 200-600 that detaches the planes in a much more marked, almost artificial way). The size is perfect, for me. I had a local craftsman make a custom-made backpack where you can accommodate the 1Dx2 with the 2x and 300 with hood mounted in the working position (and therefore not upside down) in such a way as to be quick in the extraction and execution of the shot if, in nature, the opportunity should happen. The added value is that the backpack so composed has exactly the size of the cabin baggage of many airlines, top for photographic trips. The only note I make to Canon for this lens is the bracket for hooking to the tripod. Ridiculous, practically you can not hold it to carry around the material in itinerant hunting, you are obliged to mount an ark plate long enough to be able to hold, but in any case it will never have the grip of other optics, such as the 400 f2.8 or the 500 f4, which have a padded handle that facilitates the task. Here, after this dutiful annotation, I still remain of the idea that it is a really valuable optics. To you all the other considerations |
