2 More "test" shots for anyone interested in a 70-200 f/4L

Alright guys took my cam to work and i got these 2 i believe interesting shots.

1 200mm f/4 1/640 Added contrast only

sweet, i am looking at the 2.8 i cant wait to add that to my colection!!

Wish I could have afforded to have kept my 70-200 f/4L. Such an excellent lens. Just mounting it to the camera and looking through the viewfinder the first time told me that it was an excellent piece of glass. You could tell just looking through it, never mind taking pictures with it. Once I did that, though, I was even more blown away.

Ahh, someday again soon...

i bought it used for 475$ i was using the kit lens for a year didnt even have a 50mm, i just found out how sharp that lens is after i bought my L lol next purchase possibly

What's a Ford LCF anyways?....I've never heard of such a vehicle.

I'll tell you what, even at f/4, that lens produces BEAUTIFUL bokeh.

I have been saving up for one for a while now, but things keep managing to come up, so i have to deplete some of my savings!!!

Maybe someone could buy me one? My Bday is nov 18.... someone?? ANYONE? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Wow, you all are a lot of help, tempt me so much to KILL my bank account, but then not help??

I haven't tried that kind of shots yet. Maybe tomorrow. Your lens looks sharp. I hope mine is going to survive my day at the field tomorrow. Two soccer games with my 70-200L and I'm really excited and happy.

And Surfologist, you haven't posted enough yet. Just Kidding. Need to have a bigger bank account, you're right.

So how many posts do you need till people buy you lenses?
Im going to quote you on this, and come back in a few with my IOU!!!

Ford LCF (Low Cab Forward) commercial truck design

The 70-200 F/4 is awesome. I have no need for the 2.8 so the F/4 will be with me forever....or until I need the 2.8 lol

I would like the f/4, but i will regret it if i dont get 2.8, and i will use it for weddings. So, i am stuck spending MORE money!!!!

Take a monopod along. Trust me on this one. One of the things I loved about the f/4L was the weight. After a day of shooting soccer handheld, it was one of the things I didn't like about it. The next week, I had a nice Manfrotto tripod and weight was no longer an issue.

Soccer is one of my favorites to shoot, especially children, because I have pretty unlimited access to the sidelines on about any game. (Extra bonus - parents love to buy pictures of their loved ones in action).

Monopod- Def. on the list

Parents buying pics.... Now that is a hot idea!

I actually have a huge park near my house, with multiple soccer and football vields, i should go, and then carry some business cards, and sell some pics to the parents...

Mtalley, what a good idea!! lolol

wow i leave for 2hrs and this thread jumps like crazy lol
