Hello there friends!
I posted a few days ago regarding a different lens question but I have a new but somewhat similar one today. I was originally trying to decide between a sigma 120-300mm f2.8 or a 1.4x teleconverter for my canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens. I got a rather lucrative contract recently and have set my sights a little further. I shoot just about every sport you could imagine.
While the 400mm f2.8 is still out of my budget I'm now looking at the 300mm f2.8. I'm leaning towards getting a used 300mm f2.8 IS for around $3.5k or a 300mm f2.8 IS II for around $5.5-6k depending on if I go brand new or used. I'm kind of wondering it it's worth it to pick up the 300mm f2.8 or just go with the 1.4x teleconverter and settle on f4 280mm.
Any thoughts?
