Canon EF 70-300 v 70-300L Lens Battle of the Sanctuary!

[@lb7144]

All these years later and this “FIGHT” is still relevant. I have the standard lens and I’m that Paw-Paw backyard shooter who doesn’t need anything too fancy. That being said, I do adapt the standard 70-300mm onto my R6MKII. The technology of the R62 fixes the focusing and stabilizing issues. The lens just doesn’t struggle on the mirrorless camera like it does on my 90D. Thanks again

Can I get an L lense in EF-S ? Or will both EF and EF-S both mount on my EOS T7?

[@lb7144]

Yes, EF lenses will fit. I have a Canon 90D and I have the standard 70-300mm f/4-5.6 USM. Now this lens is awesome on my full frame R6 MKII mirrorless. I use an adapter for the R6MKII and the old lenses focuses really quick and isn’t noisy like this one. Now it does struggle some on the 90D and 5DMKIV if the light is low.

[@lb7144]

You’ll probably want the Canon EF-S STM 55-250mm f/4.5-5.6. It’s an excellent lens and reasonably priced.

Thank you for this review. Finally someone comparing a non L and L version of it. Very detailed. I was actually searching for a comparison with the non-L second version (2016) but some considerations like dust do help with the choice.

Hi Jan Glad it was helpful!

I have the 70-300L lens on my 7D II and find that combo fantastic. The focusing is fast and on point plus the images are tac sharp. I’ve recently picked up the 100-400L vii and find it also fabulous. I’ve thought of selling the 70-300L but can’t seem to part with this fantastic lens.

Great tutorial. I'm glade I came across your video. I have the standard 70-300mm I've had for about 5 years. I thought that maybe I had purchased a bad copy because I have never been able to get the sharpness that I was expecting. I'm looking forward to buying the L model in the near future.

[@juanpaulr]

You know I didn't And don't have a problem with the auto focus on the 70-300 standard. I have a full frame and APS camera. Neither have had focusing issues and I used it a lot. Image quality is better on the full frame. Thanks for the review.

[@solarsynapse]

What do you think about the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM and using a 2x teleconverter for bright light longer range shots. With internal focusing it would be sealed very well. The 70-200 has good reviews as being very sharp for a zoom. How would they compare at 200mm?

It’s a no brainer, enjoyed watching 🥳🥳🥳

[@Skillow]

Got the standard 70-300... I'm between the L or the 100-400mm MK1... Decisions, but loved the review, finally found one between the two 70-300's

[@zhoupuchen]

I want to buy a camera to start and I'm in doubt between 7D and 40D. I don't want a current one because I want to learn from an entry level first.

[@ferociousfarhan7517]

my camera 7d so what can i use lens Canon EF 70-300MM is usm or Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM ???what is better lens?? Reply

[@HanFollo]

Great comparison. Thank you. The dust issue is a big one.

[@mostlymessingabout]

7:02 Chromic Ammerrations? 😢 my lens must be terrible

[@AnkurTripathi]

Yes the non l lens struggles a lot to focus on subjects i have to literally keep reframing to get the subject in focus and another big issue is vignetting when zoomed at 300 which is a big pain - i would soon plan to go for the L lens as this is one of my best focul range for street and bird photography - gives me ample space to target the subject.

[@duncan.scobie]

Great reviews bud, really enjoy them and helpful 🤘

[@Kidsonss]

I have a Canon 70D with a Canon 70-2mm F4 L lens [Non IS] - I am looking to increase my focal length and can't decide between the Canon 1.4x III extender and the 70-3mmmm F4-5.6L IS USM - would welcome you comments and suggestions - weight - price - image quality - stabilization etc etc

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

Ron Powell There's a 70-300mm IS 2 USM coming. with some very good specs

[@101UtahRaptor]

[@thephantomfantasia]

My local camera shop has a 2nd hand L lens the previous owner wants £800 for it I am going ask my camera shop if they can order it in the black one for me I am on a limited budget I do wild life photography I currently use the 75-300 mark 3 and it’s auto focus is so slow and I said to my self I need is usm motor that will probably be faster for me and I am taking pictures of small birds a lot and there not coming out sharp enough

[@skakdosmer]

If aching wrists are a problem, you should really get the Canon ef-s 55-250mm IS STM! It's inexpensive, it's really light, it's nice and sharp, and autofocus is instantaneous and absolutely quiet! It's a no-brainer-must-have. P.S. It must be the STM version, mind! The older version is no good.

[@sarahwaters4448]
