Re: Please Comment, Canon Lens EF 300mm f/4L IS USM

The 100-400 has IS and is a great lens. I have one, and wouldn't part with
it.

I'm thinking that it has a F5.6 and must be Tripod mounted (Non IS). Have
you had
experiance with this lens? I'm looking at $1000 for the EF 300mm f/4L IS
USM and $275 for
1.4 extender.

Thank you and I will look at that alternative.

thanks again

I'm using a Canon EOS 20D, EF-S 17-85MM f4-5.6 IS USM & EF 70-200mm
f/4L
USM
Lens.

I'm going to Colorado in October (Elk Hunting & Wildlife)Photos.

I'm thinking of adding a prime lens EF 300mm f/4L IS USM with 1.4
extender,
Can't afford the f2.8

Please give me any suggestions.

many thanks
