Hi folks
Sorry for the redo of an old thread but I am about to spend some serious
coin and want to make an informed decision.
I have read a fair bit on this forum re the Canon 300 f2.8 and 500 f4 primes
but both those lenses are out of my budget.
 
I have narrowed it down to the 100-400 OR the 300 L f4 prime. I could get a
1.4x extender at a later date.
I have a Canon 600D which is awesome for travelling...
 
Any thoughts?
Usage will mainly include:
Birds and animals.
Occasional Pelagic - 1 / year
Hand held and trudging through miles of various landscapes so weight etc are
a factor.
Asian Rainforests - where I consistently struggle for light with a cheaper
70-300 f4-f5.6.
 
Help me Birding-Aus forum, You're my only hope.....
