chris_tribble Posted September 7, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 7, 2016 I have held on to a mk 1 Canon 300 2.8 L non-IS. Splendid glass. Very interested to hear how well AF worked for you with your version attached to the SL. Acceptable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
