Have had this lens for around 8 years and am looking to upgrade camera to a EOS 6d. Is this lens compatible with 6d? Have had a hard time trying to get an answer. I read that it may fit onto camera but damage mirror because it is not compatible,

It's not the same as the 70-200 L, but it's also not priced like one. The image quality is decent. The low noise on the 6D is nice too. It would be a good combination for (for example) some moderate wildlife work. I was thinking about this while stuck inside during a snow storm. I was thinking how much of a difference is there between the resolving power of the 70-300 vs. the 70-200. You can pull up MTF's for the two lenses and read (and re-read) until the proverbial cows come home. But there's nothing like spending some hands-on time and getting first-hand knowledge.
