SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Sep 16, 2009 08:40 | #5 I'm wondering if you can rent a 70-200 2.8 IS or a 300mm. The 70-300 is f4-5.6. That is going make it harder to get you the light you need to get very sharp images. I don't have that lens, I bought the 70-200 f4, then the 2.8 IS and now also added the 100-400. I use these for my sons' soccer games. I always shoot manual, AI Servo and 1/1000 or faster for speed, center focus, evaluative metering (I think). I adjust as I go. I really prefer the 2.8 IS as it is fast and so sharp. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

I figured AI servo was the best, but just wanted to double check! Thanks for the help!
