Quite simply the Sharpest Lens...
Oh my goodness...what a lens! This is such an awesome lens. I wrote a review for the 35mm and said that it was the sharpest lens Canon made but oh god was i wrong. This lens is so darn sharp at all stops. It focuses so quickly and takes the most insane photos. It is a little heavy and you will draw a few looks carrying it around. I went to Yellowstone with this attached to my 5D Markii that already had a grip and people were literally staring at me and pointing. It felt a bit strange. Anyway the quality of the build is the best you can get. It is expensive but really worth the price. You will not regret it at all. It works great with the extender 1.4x. To see some of my shots with it go to my site:

Hope this was useful.

well satisfied
What a lens! Expensive an slightly heavier than I expected with my IDs Mk III but even with a 1.4 extender the speed of focussing necessary for bird photography and the sharpness exceeds the 70 - 200 mm 2.8 IS lens and gives you over 400 mm reach.
If you believe bird photography is about the bird then this is like holding the bird in your hands at arms length.

Best Canon Lens to date
This is the best canon lens I own to date. I prefer the 300mm f/2.8 over the 400mm f/2.8 lens based on weight, size and my specific need. The 300mm does not require a monopod, the 400mm in my opinion always requires a monopod or tripod. My main usage is capturing high school and college sports, typically softball and band. I use this 300mm and the 70-200mm f/2.8 L lens 90% of the time. The 400mm f/2.8 lens at ~11.8 lbs is over twice the weight of the 300mm f/2.8 at ~5.6 lbs. I much prefer to carry the 300mm and the 1.4 canon extender for those few times I need a closer shot. My camera body, the 300mm f/2.8, the 70-200mm f/2.8, a fish eye lens, the canon 24-70mm L and a book all fit very comfortably in the Temba "large" camera shoulder bag as I walk to any high school / college sport activity.
I take many sport pictures at night, still I find the the 300mm and 70-200mm lens are my favorite, even over the 200mm L f/2.0 Canon lens which is dropping in price. At time of purchase, it cost $1000 more than the 300mm f/2.8 lens. I strongly recommend renting the 200mm f/2.0 canon lens before making a purchase. It's a nice lens which has great reviews but I'm not convinced this was a wise purchase based on price / performance.
If I had to pick one of these 3 canon lens for general outdoor sports: 1) 300mm f/2.8 2) 400mm f/2.8 3) 200mm f/2.0, it would be the 300mm hands down. Of course, this is ratings for my specific need.

Lightning fast
I have wanted this lens for a few years. finally got the courage to purchase it. Looking back I wish I wouldn't of waited. It is awesome. I use it for birds in flight and wildlife and find it a perfect match to add the canon 1.4 teleconverter. No loss of clearity at all. Do yourself a favor and quit thinking about it and pull the plug.

Canon Cameras HistoryCanon Corporation is a world-known manufacturer of office equipment ranging from printers and fax machines to scanners and copying machines.
The amount of photographic equipment produced by Canon is rather moderate in comparison to their other products. But it is in demand around the world. Don’t forget that it is the photographic cameras that the company began its business with.
As early as in 1933 Goro Yoshida and his brother-in-law, Sabura, founded the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory in Tokyo. Their goal was to create a Japanese camera and make it known throughout the world. To begin with, the young people bought up and examined most advanced German models of that day. The enterprise was sponsored by Takeshi Mitarai, best friend of Uchida, a prosperous doctor, who later became president of the company.
In the following year, 1934, Japan's first domestically-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera “was born” and was named "Kwanon" - after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The trademark Canon was registered a year later.
The first consumer model Hansa Canon appeared in 1937 and the le... More About Canon Cameras |
