A mint version i 300 came up for sale yesterday at MPB photographic for 3k (uk) which if I would have been in the position to buy, I would have! I shall be able to purchase in a month or so, depending what comes up at the time, it'll be either the 300 or 400 if I can handle the mass..... Sold already http://natureimmortal.blogspot.com

Mar 06, 2013 05:03 | #22 To be honest I had a 1DIII and I would not want another, ever. My 1D4 is way better. Others may of course differ in opinion, my 1DIII was a focus nightmare. http://natureimmortal.blogspot.com

I know many are wary about dealing there but I have had nothing but good results with all my purchases (including 3 big white Canon's). Life is for living, cameras are to capture it (one day I will learn how!).

True the autofocus slows and good light or a tripod helps. I just purchased the Mk3 2x but have not used it on the 300 yet because I just got the 500. IMO the 300 f/2.8 L IS MkI is a very good value and performs so well that i don't think the upgrade to the MKII is worth it. That is my feeling. I use my 300mm with both extenders all the time.
