lens question

Iam getting closer to purchasing my next lens and i am tossed up between the 28 300 L or the L 100 400 nature and fishing pictures. How about some feedback Thank You Tim :wink:

What lenses do you have at the moment.

If you already have the wide end covered then buy the 100-400L. It is longer and cheaper.

If you already have the wide end covered then buy the 100-400L. It is longer and cheaper.

And with the money you save (the 28-300 is embarrassingly overpriced in my book) buy something to fill the gap you'll have under 100mm. Ultimately the 100-400 is the better of the two and it's cheaper. What could be better than that?

You'll probably never use the 75-300 again once you get either of the lenses you mention; the quality differential is signficant. Maybe you can sell it and use that money to combine with what you save and get another high quality lens like the 24-70L.

The sad truth is that once you start getting the pro quality optics, it's almost impossible to go back to inferior lenses. It shouldn't be, but it is.
