My research for the best telephoto continues!
I thought I was settled on the 70-3IS non-L, but after doing some research, I think I may splurge on either the 100-400 or the 70-300L. I know there's a lot of 100-400 users here, but has anyone tried the 70-3L? I've used the 100-400 in the past, but I found it to be too cumbersome with both the weight and awkward push-pull zoom. The 70-3L has the traditional twist zoom, but I'm concerned about the shorter range. I'll be using this new lens on my 5D Mark II.
Right now, the only attractive feature of the 70-300 non-L is the smaller lens diameter--I found this to be a great benefit for shooting through fences with my cheap 75-300. I'm concerned about how through-the-fence photos with these larger lenses will turn out, considering unlike the 70-3 non-L, the 100-400 and 70-3L are too wide to fit through the openings in a chain link fence.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
