70-300mm lens vs the Moon..............
redneckphotos wrote: must have me one I read some reviews that said they were not so good all I find today is people loving them
To be brutally honest (is there any other kind?!)... most who love it just don't have experience with anything better.
Compare a 70-200 from Canon/Nikon to a 70-300 from any brand and you'll see the difference for sure. If I only compared a 70-300 to a 70-300 I'd think it was good too, but I actually went and compared the Canon 70-200 f/4L IS to a Canon 70-300 (a few years ago) and I just couldn't be happy with a 70-300 knowing the Canon/Nikon 70-200 is so much better.
Still a 70-300 can go to 300mm, which is nice.
Today's lesson. If you want to be happy, don't try better lenses than what you've got and/or can afford.
This is why I won't try a 300 2.8 LOL and wish I never saw samples from my friends 200-400 f/4

I use an Olympus E400 which uses a four thirds lens, which means that it's not compatible with any of the lenses you list whilst being brutally honest!
So the four thirds actually means that this lens is the equivalent to a 140-600mm lens, but at a fraction of the weight. It comes in around 615gms, still heavy enough to require a tripod for me as I've just had major surgery on my neck.
The Zuiko are underrated in my opinion, the lenses I have have not let me down, perform well, great focus & are a reasonable price for the hobbyist.
You don't explain why you think the Canon/Nikon 70-200 was better than the 70-300.

Simple. It's much sharper and has better bokeh. Still can't get a moon shot like with a 300mm lens on a FF camera.

Ok, cheers SN! Ta for elaborating! Still unsure what you mean by better bokeh, but I'm a bit slow to catch on sometimes.
FF camera?
I'm happy with my Olympus, it's a shame in a way that these other lenses are not compatible, but my system is light weight which, given my recent op & my chronic shoulder pain, suits me down to the ground.

Bokeh = quality of the out of focus bits.
FF = Full Frame or 35mm equivalent cameras (the sensor is the same size as a film frame use to be).
