A Great Lens and Focal Length Rediscovered! |

This portrait of Madison was made with the 300 f4L IS Canon with a Canon 5d.
Late afternoon side light was the only source of illumination.
A couple weeks ago I had a portrait assignment for a client and I felt it was going to require a lens longer than my usual 70-200 f2.8L IS lens.
The subject was going to be practicing soccer during the afternoon, so I wanted a bit longer reach, but I didn’t really want to rent a 300 2.8 figuring that there would be plenty of light.
So a good friend loaned me his 300 f4L IS lens by Canon and it was a revelation to put it mildly.
