That's a nice lens H4RDY.
I'm sure you wont be dissapointed.
That Canon optic has become a bit of a legend in itself.
walwyn & derekb
you both have valid points regarding lenses. my 80-200mm and 300mm both 2.8 are very heavily used.
HOWEVER, just got a lightweight 28-300mm 5.6 It's ok, but I only use during daylight hours for snap and transmit jobs. Great for convenience, but I lack other options with this lens, as others have already said.
I have no illusions that this is gonna replace any bigger glass. It does a job...it's ok, that's it.
Sometimes there is no option but to use 2.8 glass........and it's more often than you'd think.
...and there's no substitute for getting the best position you can, regardless of lens used
Using both options on a regular basis also helps validate losses and gains for each option.
