* : This asterix shows some discrepancy between the data provided by the brochures.
For the EF100-300mm f/5.6, its 6-9/16 inch is listed as equivalent to 166.8mm,
whereas here, for the "L" version, even though the inches remain the same,
the millimeters has changed.

 

Personal Opinion

This is another case where Canon killed two birds with one stone.

This lens has the exact built quality as the "non-L" version.  Optically, however, it is two different stories.

All pictures scanned from Canon brochures, in which the original image is actually about 10 times smaller than the image that you see above.
Hence, the resolution of the above image is limited by the original size of the brochure image.  The image above is life-size.
