First shots with 70-200 f/2.8L - C&C welcome

butcha27 · 25th of September 2007 (Tue)

First outing with my 70-200 f/2.8L. Had it mounted on the old 10D body (I had the 300mm f/4L on my 400D) Not the best lighting (harsh side light) but they were shot from the spectator area and the side with good lighting is quite elevated. ISO100 AV mode @ f/2.8 shutters between 1/1000 & 1/1600. C&C more than welcome. Thanks for looking.

Sweet Lens huh? I like #3 as well

Butcha. Just had a re look at the shots with the 300mm, have to give the "thumbs up" to this set, but then after processing could be helping this set, as they are much lighter.
Action and focus, tops in both sets.

Very nice. Did you get the IS lens? I love my 2.8 IS. One C on the 1st shot - you should straighten it just a tad. Notice that the vertical brick corner is not plumb?

cheers,
Michael

Very nice shots, I like most of them and #3 does stand out.
That's a very nice lens "L" w/ 2.8 great for low lighting.
Thanks for sharing

... Keep those shutterbugs coming
