Anyone use theirs for youth sports?

I have a little. I was happy with its performance.

Yep, lots of little league softball, junior high softball and high school baseball.
It works great for those sports.

Thanks for the samples, they look great!

I was flicking a coin over the last few weeks and ultimately went with a refurbished 2x III tc for my 200 2.8L. I have had great results with the combo mostly even though I have had very limited use with it(weather). I bought mainly to get me some reach at low cost. If I was to go with the tammy I'd have to sell my lovely 200 2.8L. The 200 is magic but also has limited use. It's IMO a specialty lens and for me doesn't see too much time for my style of shooting. Shooting 200mm and 2.8 is nice though when I am using it.

2 things however. I forgot how short 400mm is on FF for wildlife(especially birds). The other being there seems to be a focusing issue with this refurb maybe. I'll get a run of photos where nothing is in focus, like shooting through Vaseline. I bought off of Amazon through a 3rd party(Amazon direct still) but I'm not chancing it and sending it back.

I just bought the 150-600 instead of a new 2xiii again. I'll miss the 200L for candid outside shots and shooting my son sports but the tammy will see a lot more time.

Here is my latest contributions to the thread. With advice from Peter, I took a day trip to catch the Eagles/Owls. These are some of the better shots from today. I also concluded that for BIF I will need to get either a 7d or 5diii for the faster AF and more AF points.
