I have no excuses , the light was nice all errors are strictly the operator:D

Ok, I was testing a couple of lenses I never used before for soccer. The 600mm f4 and the 200-400mm f4. They both performed quite well. I usually shoot with 400mm f2.8 so it took some adjustments. I kept forgetting to zoom with the 200-400mm. All in all they did well. The zoom had a few more misses on the focus ( not scientific but my 2 cents )

    Good photos. # 5 could be cropped a little more on the sides.

    What did you like? The 400 f/2.8 seems like it would be a great lens if it's like the Canon 300 f/2.8 with regard to bokeh.

    Only comment is you need to bump the exposure a little bit. Black and White uniform combinations are tough to shoot.

    Nice work. The last one is my favorite. Exposure looks fine to me. First image exif says 200mm f/2.8?

    An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

    Yes sorry, that was the 70-200mm f2.8. I should have noted that.
