The totally white shots reminded me of why I left Minnesota for California.

LOL, I have been in Minnesota several times, and it feels colder than Norway due to the lack of moutains :)

Instead, I took this shot two days ago. I think I traded up...

Those last two were my bad because I think they were shot with a Nikon. But this one was shot on the 19th with the Canon 5D3 and the great 70-300L. I love that lens (@150. Same location as first shot.

I actually like this shot much better, and not because the previous were shot with a Nikon, lol. I could care less. However, I like the overall composition on this one. I have actually never tried the 70-300L, but I hear great things about it. I think it is because I never really thought of it as an option since I have the 70-200L II and a 2x III TC, which I think (?) gives me at least equal quality and a 100mm more in focal lenght with a AF speed that is not really slow at all :)

These days I am having a great time with a lens I am borrowing for an undefined timespan, the 200 F2L and it is great, although quite heavy, bulky and a AF sound that you notice. There is a something je ne sais qua about it.

I agree that you made a great choice moving south, although the twin cities are beautiful, and I still regret that I did not bring a camera last time I visited the St. Paul Cathedral.

The thing I like about the 70-300L over the 70-200L is that it is short and light. If you are outside and carry a lens around all day, the 70-200 is a great lens but it is heavy. Add the weight of a 2x telextender (which I have) and it is a long monster. Also from what I've seen with the version III of the extender, that the 70-200 with the extender is not as sharp as the 70-300. All I can suggest is to shoot it for a few days and then go back to the 70-200 and shoot that for a day and tell us what you think. I'm assuming that you would be doing outside landscape type work. Inside of course the 70-200L IS 2.8 always wins but I do enjoy my 135 F2 inside as well as the 85 1.2L if I'm shooting Canon for some reason.

Before moving to Nor Cal I lived in San Diego for 27 years and Minnesota before that. I'm enjoying our Nor Cal winters even though they are not as warm as San Diego county.
