Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images, weight
Cons: price, slow af w/ series iii teleconverters
The canon 500mm II is a masterpiece. Version I was as well, but somehow, some way canon managed to shave 1.5 lbs off of this lens. For travel and hiking this lens cannot be beat.
The lens seems to AF slower with the series III tele converters vs the series ii. So keep that in mind.
The 4 stops of IS also helps with hand holding this lens, but so does the aforementioned weight savings.
I am happy I have purchased the 500mm ii and it will be a nice companion to my 800mm L.
