Yesterday I took some photo's of a robin who obligingly sat for me with the 75-300 lens, the lens I thought was rubbish. I trashed all the one's with the filter they were just to soft and flat. I should have kept one to show for comparison. Then I took some without the Hoya filter, I was amazed.
Strange,Christine,I also used the 70-300 Canon lens,but was never impressed with the results.I eventually sent it off as a p/ex,then a few mths ago,I purchased the Tamrom 28-300.What a difference,clear and sharp,I do not use a filter with the Tamron lens,but I did use one with the Canon,maybe just a coincedence.I put it down to the fact that perhaps the Tamron was more suited to the smaller sensor size of the 300/350 series.
