I am about to sell my Sigma EX 50-500, 105 macro and 2x teleconverter to get some cash towards a new Canon L lens. My question is whats going to be my best choice?
I am debating between two but will consider others if suggested (in the same price area).
The Canon EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 L IS USM SLR lens or Canon EF 300mm F4.0L IS USM SLR lens. I would guess that 300mm would probably be the minimum I should get for birding. I guess my question would be about sharpness. Is the fixed 300mm going to give noticeably sharper results or would I be just as happy with the 100-400? The apreture difference does not bother quite as much as losing 100 mm but I would give that up for noticeable extra sharpness.
Input needed.
