I just bought this lens and would like some pics of baseball/Football which i will be doing with this lens. If you have some low light pic that would also be great. Thanks

f4 is not going to cut for low lights sports. Even f2.8 strugles at highs chool fields at night time.

I somewhat agree. The f/4 will not be able to handle a Night football game but may be OK for a daytime game. If you had the f/2.8 then you could add a 1.4 or 2 TC for bright daytime games and get the extra reach. With the TC in place, you can only open up to f/4. I use the f/2.8 and the mistake I made was to get the non IS version, It sure would be nice to have it for non action events indoors.

This one is not low light but you can tell by the long shadows the sun is getting low.
