Re: 70~200 Canon f/2.8 IS L USM
It is gone a some time since I told I was going to shoot my son. As a matter of fact I did not go on that location, but later on and I got these pictures here When I shot them I understood that I should have done with aperture priority f/4 or f/5. That's what I'll do next time. Meanwhile, allow me not to agree with you… -
Re: 70~200 Canon f/2.8 IS L USM
Great picture! No, I don't think that IS would have made that any better. Any lack of sharpness was likely due to subject motion (your son jumping) - a faster shutter speed can help that. The shot looks sharp to me though! I have owned both the 70-200 F/4 and the IS version and I wouldn't trade the IS for anything! The IS… -
Re: 70~200 Canon f/2.8 IS L USM
Practically speaking that lens, especially the IS model, is as good as it gets. I don't think I have any shots in a church under those conditions, not using available light anyway, but certainly the f/2.8 is going to be a lot better at that than the f/4 -- you get an additional two and a half stops or so. If you can, use… -
Re: 70~200 Canon f/2.8 IS L USM
Remember that the lens has two focusing modes, "close" (1.?m) and "far" (2.?m). If you're not shooting small subjects at close range you should put it on the "far" mode, it will hunt less. That said, I haven't found that lens to be nearly as susceptible to hunting as my 75-300 IS. As Jeffro said, AI servo mode is going to… -
Re: 70~200 Canon f/2.8 IS L USM
Thank you. Good and wise advises. Flash and HSS... HSS is not needed for portraits, and flash cannot reach those surfers 100 ft away, hence, no worries.. The flash is just in case they fly over me - my son told me they are good - and I'll be on a pontoon (not a bridge. hope it is correct and you understand). They would not… -
Re: 70~200 Canon f/2.8 IS L USM
What I sometimes don't understand - and I have never put this question here in GGrin - is why sometimes the lens gives extra quality and sometimes doesn't. Well, that must be me neither the lens nor the camera but ME. Look for example this one it is not so sharp as today's pictures of the cat. But this doesn't only happen… -
Re: 70~200 Canon f/2.8 IS L USM
Keep in mind that "better choice" is always subjective. What's "better" to one photographer might not be the best choice for another. Are faster shutter speeds, minimum ISO, low-light ability, minimum depth of field, and/or ability to use a 2x teleconverter with AF of high priority? Then an f/2.8 lens is a better choice… -
Re: 70~200 Canon f/2.8 IS L USM
Antonio, While our experience action shooters are shooting , here are my 0.0002 of the f/stop :-) Since you have two bodies and you're going to the windy sandy beach where lens changing is rather unsafe, I'd recommend to use 20D with 70-200 and 350D with a wider one. I'm not sure which one, but since life usually asks for…
