In the marketplace the Canon EF 300mm f/4 USM L IS is probably suffering from the fact that it is "only" a 300mm lens. There are numerous zoom lenses with such a tele setting out including the stiff in-house competition from the similar priced EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 USM L IS and the new EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 USM L IS. It is capable of delivering sharp results specifically in the image center. The border quality is "only" good at f/4 but you can boost it a little by stopping down to f/5.6 and f/8. The comparatively low amount of lateral CAs contribute to the high sharpness perception. Both distortions as well as vignetting are very well controlled and not really relevant in the field conditions.

The EF 300mm f/4 USM L IS is an excellent lens both regarding build and optical quality. The naked lens performed near-flawless both in the lab as well as in the field where the IS helped in many situations. Combined with the EF 1.4x II converter the quality remains on high level but there's a little penalty here equivalent to about a school mark. Subjectively there's also a slight loss of contrast which cannot be surprising regarding the number of optical elements involved in the converter combination.

The Canon EF 300mm f/4.0 L IS USM Lens is another excellent lens in the Canon L Series. While it has enough focal length to feel long, this very-well-built lens remains relatively small and light. Image quality from the Canon EF 300mm f/4.0 L IS USM Lens is very good...
