I took my 70-210 f3.5 USM to shoot Tour de California yesterday. It's fast USM is really help as these guys really fly down the road. The pictures come out good but I was wondering of the f4 L version would do better?

I'm thinking of selling the 70-210 and get the F4 L (or even the Sigma 2.8 ;) if I have more $$$)

A few pics.

Looks good, don't get rid of it!!!;) I haven't used mine that much as it has been pretty rainy here and I have been busy with some other stuff. Oh to have nice weather in February, sigh!

I've got one (for sale).. it's a great lens, but, I moved up to a 70-200 2.8L IS, and I swear, I've been trying to sell the lens both here and on FM.. nobody's interested.

Honestly, if I didn't need the 2.8 for night time HS football, I would have kept the lens... the 2.8 IS is very heavy as a long walk around lens. *shrug*

Great shots.

It's a good lens but if I'm to get another one, I have to get rid of it. :(

I may need f2.8 for those few times I shoot at schoolplay. I don't do alot of indoor sports and the only one I shoot regularly is kiddie soccer which is outdoor with good light.
In2Photos, one thing about California is the great weather. Just a few weeks ago, we were reaching upper 70's in Feb breaking records left and right. Then it got cold and we broke the coldest records too. :D ...

Chris Johnson, you may want to try eBay if it doesn't move here and FM. I only see this lens sold once on FM. I may try eBay when it's time to sell mine too.
