Right now I have an EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM lens and I keep encountering a problem with really bad shadow and vignetting even when the camera is telling me that I'm set up for a proper exposure.

Anyone else having a similar problem, or should I just chuck it and get the 70-200 f/2.8L that I'm contemplating?

I have the 75-300 and find it excellent for the money. Can you post an example of your problem?

I have the same 75-300, and get very good results, but I also own a 70-200L, and don't think I can compare "apples" + "oranges". Both give me the results I expect, and the L,,, well it's an L, so of course it produces better in the hands of this amature!! If you decide on the L, I don't think you'll be disapointed, IMO it is brighter, sharper, faster....

Does it vignette with the hood off and all filters removed?
