This was my first attempt to photograph the moon. Taken about an hour ago.

Heheh, right place, right time I guess. I was rather disappointed with that visit to the zoo. Probably got there too late and all the animals were sleeping. Even the lions were nowhere to be seen.

hey guys, verrrryy nice gallery.
If I can't decide spending thousand dollar on the 70-200L, I might as well get this one..

Only thing, anyone tried using this lens indoor (parties, conference, gym sports, etc.)

I'd like to see some pics :)

Thanks in advance

I don't have any pics indoors and I'm not sure how many others have some either. It's really slow focusing in darker locations and has a hard time locking on at least for me. f/4 certainly isn't fast enough for gym sports either at 55mm.
