Just Bought A New Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM And It Is Amazing

Last Monday I came across a ad for a Canon L glass 300 2.8 lens, the seller wanted $1700 but we negotiated the price down to $1500 cash in hand, if the lens was a described.

Tuesday morning we met the seller and I found the lens to be in nearly perfect shape other than some minor scratches where the glare hood mounts to the lens, the glass was in excellent condition as well, so I bought it.

On the way back with my wife driving, because I took a pain pill in the morning my hip was hurting real bad and once I take one them I will not for 24 hours, I tried out the lens shooting through the passenger side window.

I was blown away by how quickly the lens would capture focus considering the speed we where going.

I have rented one of those lens's twice and owning one was on the top of my list after I retired, I just couldn't find one, but as my luck normally runs I now own one.

Canon did a real good job when they designed that lens, yea it's heavy but I am used to carrying heavy camcorders so the weight means nothing to me.
