The 400 can be a bit tight in some situations (most LoI grounds in the country) more so because of he crop factor on the camera. 400 is great for GAA or when pushed back from pitch – like in Croker. But be careful, make sure it suits for your daily work not just the odd international. I use a 400 with a full frame body which works out great, but I found it way too hard when having the 1.5 crop factor of a DX body when covering soccer or rugby.
Funny thing – I remember Paul and Ken recommending I get a 300 a while back – glad I didnt listen lads……lol
The 300mm is a fabulous lens, without a doubt, especially for the price.
I’m shooting mostly on a 1D (so a 1.3x crop body).
I guess, like with anything else, you learn how to make the most of the camera/lens for what you need.
For now, I can’t afford a 400mm, so the 300mm will have to do. But, if anyone wants to make me an offer …… :roll:
