Is this true? I had heard (no facts, just unsubstantiated opinions) that it
was just the reverse. Photodo isn't much help, it ranks the 300/4 at 4.3,
well ahead of the 300/4IS at 3.4, and the 75-300 IS just below the non-IS
version (3.2 vs 2.9), but there are not comparable figures for any of the
other pairs. I'm hoping to spend some "slush" funds on the 300/4 one of
these days soon, do I need to wait another year and save for the IS 300/4
instead?
TIA,
tomp
