Wow Stealthy, love your Photoshop skills to get rid of your second head

(Assuming that is you

).

This lens has always been interesting, but I've had my 70-200/2.8 for a year and I don't think I could be without it.

LOL no, that was someone I shot in the studio. Canadian dude not Tasmanian.

Thank you mods (for the thread edit).

I am having a bad case of seller's remorse. When I had it, I wasn't using it, so I sold it for a 17-40mm. Now that its gone, I have had a couple of occasions where I reallllllly could have used it. So now my new mission in life, save my pennies and find and buy another 200mm 2.8 Mk II!!!

Here are my samples. No PP, only resizing and a litlle cropping.

Some more in my blog (see sig).

Nice shots there, Sven. At the zoo, or in the wild?

Thanks! These are in a Zoo in Holland. It's called "De Apenheul", it's a specialized zoo with monkey's and apes. The Squirrel Monkeys are not in a cage so they cross your path, it's a true photog's paradise.
You can check this (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=773041) thread for more pics, or their website (also in English) http://www.apenheul.com/ for more info.

Mister wiggles I think that would be the owner!

I've never worked with this range before other than the 70-200 2.8 IS (which I borrowed). At 200mm without IS, would this work well handheld during outdoor weddings with good light? I shot almost everything wide open with the 70-200 but never worried about shutter speed because of the IS and I'd say about 95% of my shots were in focus.

So without IS, how well would this work? Similar? Or do you generally use monopods for this long range without IS?

Thanks,

Just got the lens.

It's bad ass! Current line up is now 24-70L, 85L II, 200L II, and sigma 24 f/1.8 Macro. This lens is lighter than I thought it was going to be. It's kind of amazing really.

Feel sorry for my roommate when I get new lenses. I'm always asking him to pose in the backyard even if the sun is harsh haha...

I love it when you've got a green background and the lens just completely blows it out like this so it's almost like you've put up a green background sheet. That will be a great shot for his senior yearbook if they do baby/kid shots with their pictures. nice shot
