Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM

Re: Canon EF70-200mm f/4L USM

This lens is wonderful. I'm often shooting with my friend who owns this lens and the IQ is superb. We were doing some street/candid shots, horse parkour and portrait work - just amazing lens. For indoor shot I would prefer 2.8 non stabilized version or a 135 f/2 prime (to par with my 85 f/1.8 ). But for general outside usage it's just great.

What on earth makes you think I gave bad karma - I certainly didn't!
I would never smite someone for a photo I didn't like - I am over 12! (by a few decades....)

I would only give out bad Karma for unprovoked Ad Hominem attacks - like the one you just did on me (except I will be restrained in this case....)

I don't mind the edit of the tatty flag pic tbh. No skin off my nose, we all have our preferred ways of editing images. I've not really used photoshop lately, it's been all Lightroom 3, now with a dash of messing around with the Lightroom 4 beta.

Just got my 70-200 f/4, used, but at a pretty good price.

Im already loving the L glass, and the USM motor ;D

I absolutely love this lens. Extremely sharp and very light.

I'm still a noob so I wasn't sure how high the ISO needed to be to freeze the action. Bumped it up pretty high to make sure.

These guys don't mess around. It was over 100 degrees F and they still showed up for combat!
