I have an old NON-IS 300mm F2.8 L. Despite the awful minimum focus distance, I do still love this lens and would very much like to keep it for when my R5 arrives in time for whenever it arrives.
Curious if anyone here has had any extensive experiences with first generation EOS lenses such as these and if that headlining AF applies here as well.
I originally used this lens on a 5D Mark III, AF could be very difficult at times, the 5D Mark IV really speed things up (I hear it runs a higher voltage to the lens' AF motor). Similarly, with the 50L, the Mark IV eliminated the low light AF inaccuracies which plagued my old Mark III.
Funny story on the 300mm F2.8L; as it gets some interesting attention out in the world, one drunken old fool threatened to call the US Navy on me for using it in public.
