Canon 300mm f4L

New owner of the 300L. So far loving the increase in sharpness of this lens.

I've noticed there is a distinctive "click" when the IS (I think, might be focus) disengages. Has anyone else noticed this. All seems to be functioning fine. Just wondering if I should be concerned.

No, it's normal. You've got yourself a great lens.

That's the norm...keep shooting

300mm f4L non-IS?

It sounds like you have IS but I've heard the older 300mm f4L non-IS is sharper than the new model and I was wondering if that's the "increased sharpness" you were talking about. I'm looking at picking one up myself.

Thanks everyone.

SinaiTSi, I know someone selling a 300L non-IS if you're interested

I have a mintish 300 F4 L IS for sale as well - but I am in the UK - Doh!
These are sharp lenses, with excellent colour rendition. I am only selling as I have gone to the F2.8 IS.

Brilliant Lens especially for close up work and VERY sharp but noisy, just learn to ignore the clicks and clunks, they are normal.

the sound from the IS is normal
