The next lens on "my want" list is a 300 f2.8.
I was wondering what happened to all the Mk1 Canon lenses?
All companies are advertising the new Mk2 versions and at almost 7K they are way way out of my price range.
I can't see Mk1 owners selling theirs to upgrade to Mk2 models so the 2nd hand market will probably be devoid of Mk1s
I would probably sell my 300 f4 + 70-200 f4 nonIS to help my purchase.
So this would probably have me thinking about a 3rd party 300 f2.8, namely Sigma.
Does anyone have experience of the Sigma 300 f2.8 EX DG + 2x EX DG APO converter?
At the end of the day do you think Canon have priced themselves out of the amateur/semi pro market?
I would certainly prefer to buy Canon but the new versions are way out of my finances.
It would be interesting to hear other's views on the subject.
