IS, there is
no overlapping at all.
On this, I would agree with Daniel. For me, the two lenses have
considerably different uses. Therefore, even if you do get some over-lap on
focal lengths, the real issue is under what conditions and in what shooting
situation do you use each lens.
Gary Russell
for those who use 70-200 f/2.8 a lot, how
many times you'd want to have the 300 reach,
Not often, it seems like I keep running into situations where a little wider
than 70mms would work better though. But, I do carry a 1.4X extender in a
pocket just in case.
