My women is a huge sunflower freak. So I took some pics some in the garden. I love this lens. Resizing does not do the sharpness justice.

I love #2. Is that 100% or cropped in?

I must have planted mine late. Good shots. What variety is that? My 70-200mm 2.8 will be here tomorrow. I can't wait.

Not sure. She picks them out and I pay. Congrats on the 2.8 Thats the one I wanted and could have gotten but I need other gear so I opted for the 4. Still love it though.

yeah, I agonized over the 4 or 2.8 for months. I see a lot of people selling the 4 to upgrade to the 2.8 and I recently went to a graduation in a gym and probably got 6 good images out of near 100. Will I ever shoot in that situation again? probably not but I'm prepared if I do. If I add a teleconverter and loose an f stop. My deciding factors.

Ill upgrade to the 2.8 some day. If I added a 2x to mine I would completely lose AF. And I dont trust my eyes or the view finder on the XT to try MF. Instead I am saving for a prime. I getting ready to spend my savings from the f/4 to get a new lens, flash and a decent tripod. And hopefully still have enough for anther gb of memory.(Fingers crossed)
