Another set of images taken with the Canon 200mm f2.0 prime, and the two 70-200mm f2.8 zoom lenses this time of a Crested Wood Partridge. Again, shots not taken under controlled conditions and identical exposure, but I think that they can be used to get a general idea of the capabilities of these three lenses.

    Looks like all 3 lenses are quite capable.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Hi Harry, yes I agree all of these three lenses are quite good.

    A cool little story about this guy, he and his wife (shown below) had a little son who always ran around with mom and dad in the SD Zoo hummingbird aviary. Then one day I visited the aviary the son was gone (by then he was almost as big as dad) and when I asked the keeper she informed me that junior had been sent to another zoo for breeding purposes. I was releived to hear that because they're basically fearless of zoo visitors since they own the aviary and generally come right run up to people. So I was happy to hear that the son was safe in another zoo getting ready to find a mate iloveyou.gif

    Beautiful details on the crest feathers in the 3rd picture...wow.

    Not being the same income bracket as you, I bought the plain-jane 70-200 F4 (non-is) used this year and think it is one of my sharpest lenses now.

    its definitely the best $500 lens I own.

    Thanks Brad, the new Mark II zoom is a fantastic lens and it really does approach the IQ of the prime lens. I agree that they're pricey lenses, but I'm sure you'll do fine with your "plain-jane" lens.
