If any of you want some sample shots from a 70-200 IS...

[OdiN]

From a Rockies baseball game.

First shot is from where I was sitting, about 30 rows back from the Rockies dugout:

Shot at 17mm

From here, I shot the following shots with my 70-200. Cropped quite a bit, but still.

These were handheld at probably close to the 200mm end of the lens...don't remember exactly.

Nice. Is that with the F/2.8 or F/4? Looks very sharp.

Yeah they didn't even question me at all. I could have gotten in with a monopod but didn't try it.

I bumped it up a little bit and sharpened.

Game started at 6:30PM those were from the first few innings.

The shot of the field was later.

Once PP'd should look nice. Great bokeh.

This lens delivers awesome bokeh.
I can only imagine how good the 2.8 is.

I'm stil trying to decide between the f/4 is and the f/2.8 or the sigma 2.8 os. Looks like the sigma and the f2.8 is winning.

Thanks. I would do it much differently myself. I'm a graphic designer, so I spend insane amounts of time in Photoshop.

Is this normal now? Why wouldn't they let you take it in? Too professional?
