It is a VERY tough choice, speaking as one who made it just a couple months
ago :) I need the 400mm reach for soccer and football, so in the end there
were 2 factors that steered me to the 100-400: the slower autofocusing of
the 70-200 with 2X TC, and the fact that only the center focusing point is
effective, thus rendering ECF inoperable (I can't remember if this is the
case with the EOS 3, but I know it is with the Elan 7E). I could have gotten
by without ECF, but I need the fastest AF possible and wouldn't want to be
limited to the center point.
