Anyone use the canon 100-300 5.6L lens before ?

Hi , I've just bought lens recently and didn't have much chance to shoot with it as I'm still on film photography .

Could anyone who have experience with the lens kindly give some pointers on the lens ? As in at what aperature size would give the best pictures generally as a whole ?

I've read up on some articles regarding the 28-135 IS lens that the aperature size does matter on the quality of the picture

Thanks

I don't have much complaints about the quality/sharpness at various apertures.

Main thing for myself is to get used to the slow AF, push-pull zoom (it creeps sometimes when pointed downwards) & the loose(?) manual focus ring.

Have fun with it!

Agreed on the slow focus and the zoom creep

Thanks for the info. Will attempt to shoot a few more pictures during the weekend:what:
