No droopy pants for an All-star (BB)

Well I had a chance to extensively test the 120-300 with the extender in very good light. It definitely, even in good light, loses a little bit of responsiveness in AF, but not that much if you have good light. Unfortunately, almost all the good shots I got with the full reach of the extender were of other kids (not mine), so I await permission to post from parents to show full reach. For some reason, my own son and I were having an off day with each other.

At least he finally got better fitting pants befitting an all-star. This shot didn't use the full reach with the extender, but it was on the lens:

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything on your previous posts, but those elastic waist pants were the worst!

At least get him a pair without a hole in the knee.

Since he's the youngest of 4 boys, things tend to get recycled

This is one of the reasons why I'm slow to pick up new equipment, the kids and their costs come usually first.

So anything to nitpik about the photo? I will post more with full use of the extender shots as soon as I get permission.

New pants or new lens.

It's no contest.....

Great shot - nice to see one without gauking officials in the background!
Who cares about the hole in the knee? When I was his age I had holes in far worse places than my knees
BTW, that belt looks great )

TINY nit-pick. Horizon looks crooked.

Like I said, not a huge criticism!

Really the only thing I could see either!

Dodge the shadow under the brim and noise ninja. Mom's in our league always complain about the brim shadows, but the hole in the knee makes him really look like a ball player. Great shot.

Thanks everyone, it's only due to you folks here that I've learned anything at all. At this game there was a thrilling, absolutely thrilling play at home plate, which I missed, and I keep kicking myself, my reaction time to stuff like this is pretty poor. I'm having a hard time catching the plays in the field, and I'm despairing of whether or not I'll ever get it.

Khall - when you said "new pants or new lens," which would you choose?

Looks overprocessed to me, sorry.
