This thread is great to catch up on after a week away on holiday. Here's a couple of shots with the 5D3 + 70-200mm:

I love how you captured the expressions on the border collie's face. He looks like he is smiling after he finally catches the ball.

Thank you Sandy! He loves catching. I'll need to get some shots of him with his frisbee.

Hello. I just purchased this lens. I plan to use it without a tripod. I'd like to ask if its wise or unwise to remove the tripod collar to cut down on weight and have a better hand grip during shooting. When I use my strap (a Black Rapids RS4), is it ok to have my strap mounted to the camera while using this lens, or am I potentially stressing the bayonet mount and should leave the tripod ring on and attach there. Thanks kindly for your help.

If this is not the place for this question, then please direct me.


Canon 6D; 24-105 f4 L IS; 70-200 f2.8 L IS II; B+W 010 Haze 1x MRC for each lens; Black Rapid RS4 strap

Why not just rotate the tripod ring up? It'll be out of your way for hand holding. And it'll still be there if/when you do need it.

I attach my black rapid onto the tripod mount.

Image size is a bit big - POTN limits image sizes, even embedded links like this, to 1024x1024. Can you edit your post for a resized image? Hard to see the whole thing on many folks' monitors.

Peacock pics are remarkably well-timed: I was driving down a back road yesterday, when I saw a few of these guys wandering about. They are feral in the Orlando area:

IMAGE: http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab246/shinksma/Wildlife%20and%20Nature/IMG_5953_1024_zps7edcb34e.jpg

Used f/2.8 for maximum background blur, but forgot the ISO was still set at 4000 for whatever it was I was last taking pic. 1/8000sec shutter, not really needed. I think I will return to that back road, since it was mentioned at my destination along that road that the peacocks are around a lot.
