Hi,
I am currently using a 100-400 mm IS lens for a couple of years with a Canon 20D, exclusively handheld, and have learned my fair bit about the limits of the setup. In particular pictures at 400mm in low light at 5.6 tend to be quite soft.
I was wondering over possibilities to upgrade, and since I do not want to give up on handheld photography I can see two possibilities
1) 400 mm DO IS f4
2) 300 mm f2.8 IS with 1.4x
What is the better option for handheld photography, and is the upgrade worth the considerable amount of cash involved? Are there any other suggestions?
Thanks for advice,
Ingo
