Canon EF 300mm f4.0 L USM IS STABILISER...
Very sharp pictures - if your OK with no zoom, It is a great lens for a decent price. I would highly recommend.
Pros:
- Shoots sharp images
- very quiet IS
- great colour and contrast
- 2X teleconverter
- which provides plenty of manual focussing
Cons:
- No zoom

Good range but still portable
I bought this lens to use on a series of adventure cruises to the high Arctic and Scottish Islands. I was torn between this and the 100-400 L zoom. This lens was lighter and had a constant aperture.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Rugged

Still deciding
I've shot with a 30D for about 7 years and recently switched to a 7D. All my digital SLR experience has been with these APS-C cameras. I purchased the 300mm IS f4L as a way to get a little more magnification than the 70-200mm IS f4L that I already had.
Pros:
- Fast auto-focus
- Superior build quality
- image stabilization
- size and weight
- close-up capability
- case tripod mount & built-in lens shade
Cons:
- Semi-sharp images, i.s
- noise (clunking

Not sharp as they use to be....
I found my copy of this lens unacceptable...Soft wide open. The imaging stabilizing was very clunky as well (IS) -- I use to use these lenses back when I was shooting news and they were always decent...

Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM Lens
The Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM Lens is another excellent lens in the Canon L Series . While it has enough focal length to feel long, this very-well-built lens remains relatively small and light. Image quality from the 300 f/4 L IS lens is excellent.
