It takes a lot of persisting to get the sharp flying shots...I'm hoping the 5D3 has a much better AF system! I use manual focus most of the time now and it works okay most of the time...maybe I'm not as quick as I was! Growing old disgracefully!

I myself was thinking of waiting for the 5d3 as well, but went with the 5d2. For one, I hate waiting, and I am actually glad I did as my guess would be that the 5d3 may come late in the year. I bet it will be a great camera though. I have also recently experimented with some manual focusing. It definitely makes things a little more challening, and fun too....keep up the great work!!! http://www.jakegregoirephotography.com

I'm debating between this lens and the non-IS version. Would anyone be able to tell me if there is a difference in focusing speed in AI-servo mode between the two lenses? Thanks for your help! Hi Adam, I can't cast any light on the difference in AF speed between this and the non IS version, but I believe that I have read that the two are different optically...the non IS is an older formulation and not as sharp. Growing old disgracefully!

Jan 12, 2011 20:27 | #2367 First real cloudy day in about 8 months....not white puffy clouds, but real clouds. It even sprinkled for about 5 minutes!
An Afghan Man eyes our patrol as he is collecting up scraps of wood to heat his home that night. Since their aren't any crops growing in this season, most of the men just collect firewood to stay warm and live off of whatever they happened to hold on to from the summer. Fire
Some kids make their own little fire inside a broken bottle to keep themselves entertained (Their local school will soon be re-opened for the first time in decades.) Dinner
An Afghan Policeman makes dinner for himself and his comrades. We got this school totally fixed up, painted all the walls nice and white, and of course, the ANP go and put their kitchen back up against the wall and make a nice big black soot patch on the brand new white wall.... In the Spotlight
Enjoying his few seconds of fame, a kid taking a break from helping to collect firewood himself. I wonder how long that jacket has been passed around his family. Passing Time
This elder is doing just that, passing the time until call to prayer. He sat there for a couple hours, just waiting. As soon as call to prayer came out he got up and went away, in the meantime I got this shot shooting from the hip. (just couldn't find a spot where he wasn't going to notice me taking his picture, and had this particular framing.) Not only is he passing time, but I felt that he represented the passage of time himself. Once again this lens puts out in poor light conditions very well. Some of these wouldn't have been possible without the IS, and the ability to open up to f4 and not worry about sharpness, light falloff, etc. While I may not have been paid for any of my photographs yet, I still think this lens has paid for itself in fun. There are some more from this day on my FLICKR (in my sig), these are my fave 5, but there are some good ones in there as well. All shot with the 70-200 f4L IS. Thanks for looking! https://www.instagram.com/nd14411

Thanks for your help! yeah I missed the boat. I tried to buy it friday before the rebates ended and adorama had problems with bill me later so I couldn't order it. Went to get it today and it's up to $1249. I lost $119 in a week. Oh well, now I just have to save a bit longer to get the TC to go with it. photos
