Canon / Re: 300mm f/4 IS vs 400mm f/5.6

That's not bad at all. Well, the focus is not exactly on the eye, is at the base of the beak. Sharpness seems good.

How handholdable it is? Do you generally shoot at high iso?

I know, I dont have any other photo ready to show.
Lighter and more confortable than a 70-200 2.8 is

So I will purchase one of these lenses in about 2 months. What I will do with them is:

- wildlife
- outdoor portraits
- sport, action

I read a lot of topics on other forums, regarding exactly this versus and I have the tech background necessary to know every aspect of what I'll buy.
However, some more opinions won't hurt and I'm always open to suggestion.

Advantages for 300mm:
- has IS
- a bit faster (f/4)
- does macro quite well (MFD 1.5 meters)

Disadvantages:
- not quite enough reach for bird shots
- slower focusing than the 400mm
- 1.4x TC takes away a bit of the IQ and focusing becomes worse


Advantages for 400mm:
- faster focusing
- more reach
- said to be sharper

Disadvantages:
- no IS
- maybe a bit too long sometimes...!?
- MFD is 3.5 meters, can't do macro


Ok, now:
- the macro feature of 300mm is not so exciting, since I got the 100mm f/2.8 macro and is superb.
- I don't know how outdoor portraits look like with either lens, there aren't many of these on the web.

Reason for getting a tele long like this is that I want smoother bokeh in outdoor portraits and I also want to do some wildlife.

I would really like to see good samples of people shots outdoor with these lenses, if anyone has some. I'm still undecided about which one to get. Price tag is similar.

Any takers?

You know the pros and cons of both lenses... choice is yours. I have the and I love its sharpnes and lightweight

Alguien ha hecho algo con la aplicacion de la nueva norma de impuestos de SS? Yo no tengo nada claro que es lo que hay que hacer. Si alguien lo ha hecho y puede explicarlo un poco estaria genial.

Now I see the game

I told you so.  ;D
What's more, your images are locked for a year, so if you get a request for exclusive buyout at Dreamstime in the mean time, you'll have to deny. Goodluck with sales!

Perhaps I can Modify keywords and delete all of them or put stupid kw so it would be almost imposible to find

Now I see the game:
I uploaded about 50 photos before this 100 or 500$, 99% approved
Then when I knew about the offer I uploaded 1000 of my best sellers thinking that it wouldnt be easy for them to reject a few of them...

The result is 20% approved. No 500 images approved
