Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM

And just to show the combination in the real world, here's a shot from the Pease air show this summer.

It's not as sharp as it can be in the studio, but throwing in atmospheric conditions, etc. I think it's a very respectable combination.

These were taken today using my 300 + 2X extender on a Mk4 in very poor light. The 300 on the Mk4 is remarkable. I just love the combo.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for all the photos and input on this lens.
I have just place my order for one and looking forward to Friday when I will be getting it. Any recommendations and tips on using this lens.

You will love it! Get yourself a Canon 1.4x and a 2x both are great with this stunning lens! Also this lens is great to use on a sidekick with a Markins head. Another hint the Markins lens plates work perfectly with the new lever clamp with no adjustments necessary.

Thanks for your comments butterfly2937.
I have a Kenko 1.4 and getting the new Canon 2.0 TC III with the lens. I am going to do some homework on the Markins head and lens plate.

It's fairly easy to hand hold. It's also light enough to use a decent (but not super expensive) ballhead.
If I'm not using mine on a Gimbal or 'Frotto 393 head, I'll use it on a manfrotto ballhead that I normally use for landscape stuff.

Congrats on the purchase. It's super super super super sharp. My favourite lens.
