WAY too rich for my blood
...especially when the difference between the $1200 f/4.0 and the $3000 f/2.8 is overcome by just switching from ISO 100 to ISO 200. The difference in depth-of-field between f/2.8 and f/4.0 isn't much on a 300mm lens. Sure, in very low-light situations it's not all that simple, but *myself*, I do very little telephoto work in that low of light. I think that a lot of people do get caught up in "lens envy". For every person who regularly shoots moving birds with a 300mm lens and 1.6x teleconverter at dusk, there are an awful lot of people for whom even a "lowly" 300 f/4.0L would be much more than sufficient well over 99% of the time. steve |
