COMMENTS:

The original EF 300/2.8L, without Image Stabilization. A very sharp lens indeed, probably the best 300/2.8 lens of its contemporaries. One of the nice things about the f2.8 version of this lens is that it will AF with both the 1.4x TC and 2x TC on all EOS bodies, so you get a 420/4 and a 600/5.6 with full autofocus.
