A few Canon EF 35-350mm L lense questions: How long is the lense at full extension (350mm setting)?
What are the minimum focus distances for the following focal lengths - 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm, 135mm, 200mm, 300mm and 350mm? What are the maximum apertures for the following focal lengths - 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm, 135mm, 200mm, 300mm and 350mm? I want to use this lense with a Canon EF 17-35mm as a two lense kit for travel photography. How practical is it to hand hold the 35-350mm? I use 400 speed print film. Is a monopod a necessity (especially at the 350mm end)? My original idea was to use a 17-35mm + 28-135 IS + 70-200mm 2.8 IS + Canon 2X converter but weight was a concern. If I get the 35-350mm, I will use it with the 17-35mm as a two lense kit OR I will use the 28-135mm alone (one lense, lightweight set-up). My requirements do not require a fast lense. The main advantage of the 70-200mm 2.8 IS is at the long end - 400mm f/5.6 IS. A bonus is having a maximum aperture of f/2.8 from 70mm to 200mm. The 35-350mm is just as fast (or slow) at the long end but no Image Stabilization. If the 35-350mm had IS, I would choose this lense immediately. I plan to rent the 35-350mm lense to see if I like the lense. Any suggestions or comments?
