The Photo Below Me

um, we need to post a photo before we get reprimanded again

LOL - didn't even think of it! Good catch BLA.

TPBM is an odd match. (no using my picard/cow shot from last night)

That's where the real choice comes though... It all boils down to what you shoot. For Jamie, the IS would be much better, because he does so many panning shots. For someone doing sports, the 2.8 would be great. Actually, I think it's great that they will have the two options at the similar price. It will give people that don't want to spend so much 2 good options instead of just the one.

*EDIT* But the really cool thing is that the market will be flooded with used 70-200mm f4 L lenses before too long here. Those that have wanted an L, but had trouble reaching to it, just might be able to grab it.

The 50mm f1.0 L goes for about $4000 used. It's a VERY rare lens.

Alex -

That's a toss up because the IS really is very helpful and can help you gain a couple stops (or in this case maybe 3) but I've always been a fan of bigger apertures. You can take a look at the concert photos I took for a band this summer at an outdoor gig using my 70-200 2.8 IS. www.thefreddyjonesband​.com Because of the shallow depth of field and how musicians constantly move it's better IMHO to stop up to 4 or 5.6 and increase ISO a little if your camera isn't too cruel with grain at high speeds. I don't think I used the lens wide open once.

So by this logic, you'd be better off with the 4.0 IS.

Damn I talk alot. Sorry. Done.

Are we a camera store today? hehe

Off to bed all... No more waking up to 22 pages to read please!

Renee's right.

the PBM is still "an odd match"

Nite Brad.

I'm off too. No tech talk tomorrow.

Night Gib

Yo, Photo Gib, you gotta do a TPBM, that was a great technology pic.

It was great, but I don't think he took those photos.

Ya, I know. Just fun to catch him snoozing though.

OK, I am off to bed. Short lived visit, but it was something.
