Quote:Wildlife with only 300/4? It's not too bad, but a lot of comparisons came to the conclusion, the old version was equally good, just heavier. For sure, the old version had better contact to the tripod collar. This I explicitely tested: Using the collar will cause more shutter shock issues than mounting the D810 directly on a tripod. Same results I also found with the latest version of 70-200/4
Sure I'm pretty happy to have now a zoom 150-600, which is much more flexible. But having adapted to use only the older 300 Æ’/4 + teleconverters for years, I could have enjoyed the lighter weight of the newer one - which is also stabilised.
