Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS Mark II

Thanks man!

You did great on those action shots! I still yet have to try the 5D2's capability in action sports with good lighting and see how bad/acceptable it is. I'm sure keeper rate is not as good as 7D though.

Some more shots from a local dog competition at our local park. All taken with a canon 1.4x extender. I probably could have gotten by without it though.

Those are some pretty cool shots! That must have been real fun watching.

Damn good corporate image on the product. Did you notice. Ha Haa Ha LMAO

Thank you guys! Yes it was a lot of fun, QC. These dogs were amazing as were their owners.

Wow Nice PP on these. Just love them. Care to share some info with regards to the actions used for the first photo please?

Thanks a lot. For processing I primarily used Nik's color efex filter to extract some details in snow and on people and then added some golden light on the left and right trees. Apart from it I think it was a little curve adjustment and a little dodge and burn.

I did these with a 2X extender--on a 5D3.

Nice shots Al! How you liking the mkIII. Big changes for me I think. Heading to nikon. 5dmkiii is way too much money here in canada.

Thanks, guys It's a nice camera, no question, especially shooting moving stuff. It's overpriced right now, no question, but I couldn't hold off. The new Nikon is $500 cheaper, Cory, but won't you lose a lot more than that selling your glass and then replacing it with Nikon's?

Not sure if I got it right, it was hard following them.

$700 difference in Canada. For me, I'll make use of the dynamic range increase of the d800 and have always wanted the nikon 14-24mm. I feel the d800 could last me a very very long time!

5dIII is a very nice camera though and has tempted me many times. If they were the same price, I'd have a mkIII.

I'll be very sad to sell this lens though!

Nice shot Rene. I hope your dog was licking dirt
