Oggetto: Canon 75-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM vs Canon 70-200 f/4 L + Canon 1.4x extender
Good morning board!!! I have a 75-300 IS (not the new 70-300 IS) and i think that at 300 is REALLY soft... So I'm interested in changing it and buy a 70-200 f/4 that seems to be one of the sharpest tele zoom for the EOS... Ok considerations.. - Lose 100m long end... I think I will also buy a 1.4x canon to reach 280 f/5.6 with good results (witch I do not have eith the 75-300) - At 5.6 I still have AF on... - Lose IS...... Ok can get faster speeds (f/4 against f/5.6) use a little higher ISO (not so mutch noise at 800 with my 350D).... Use tele mainly in bright light conditions, so I think thin will not be a "great" problem... And 70-200 f/2.8 IS will REALLY kill my budget... - Gain excellent quality build (L lens) - Gain non rotating/extending lens - Gain FASTER AF!! 75-300 hunst a lot especially at 300 and is really slow... - Gain FTM... I was thinking to use more tripod of course, wont buy the optional collar for the 70-200 f/4 (too expensive) do you think i can use it with no problem using tripod attacched to the battery grip? Gonna changhe my "crap" tripod (50€) to something better: manfrotto 055clb tripod triminor classic balck manfrotto 484rc2 ball head mini rapid take off What do you think?
