Oh if only we could! But seriously I am still strongly considering attending this little shindig... especially after the farce of the School corp's "safety" meeting.
I think I saw your comments on the page. I don't get the "resisting" comments/references either. I'm not going down there to break any laws, but am only intrigued because it may be an interesting event. I'd rather not drive from Indy just to waste my time because some dumbass tries to get us arrested for some reason.
That's what happened when we showed up at the Million Mom's march...
Has the organizer given any indication what that means?
I have the f/2.8L II.
Interesting, the widest I have is on my 24-70 f/2.8 L
I have this one as well, excellent lens. I specifically love the halation.
I hope it is better than the f/2.8L MK1. I had the F4 first and heard everyone kept raving about the F2.8 version so I bought one and wasn’t impressed with it.
I have that lens as well. I shoot most of my product shots with this one.
I agree. It is a very good bang for your buck as well.
Yes, I just put them in my coat pockets. Normally I keep camera kit in molle pouches on an HSGI Sure-Grip Padded Belt but that day it was too cold to keep unzipping my jacket to access the molle pouches.
I like it, but it's a hoss compared to the F/4. I do a lot of indoor/ambient light photography and more often than not they prefer I not use flash unless absolutely necessary (i.e. weddings in a church, etc) so the f/2.8 is big for me over f/4.
My 70-200 f/2.8 IS II is actually my fastest focusing lens. I'd almost describe it as 'lightning fast'.
It does have a bit of heft as the optics are substantially larger - but you don't drive a commercial airliner and complain that it doesn't handle like a cesna
.Theoretically it captures twice as much light just as f/2.0 would capture twice as much as 2.8 and 1.4 would capture twice as much as 2.0. That said, unless you're specifically working in low-light situations the differences between f/2.8 and f/4 are negligible as you'll often be closing down the aperture for good exposure anywhere that isn't dark.
I've no issues with image quality, but then again, I don't pixel peep. I would say it's better than my 24-70 but both are excellent imho.
No issues with mine, but focusing was improved in version 2 as near as I understand it.
I've had no issues, used it for everything from weddings to sporting events
.It's one of my favorites due to it's size/weight/IQ and good focal length coverage.
The only thing I wish is that it had at least a little weather sealing. If I were to buy the f/1.2 it would be for the weather sealing and not purely due to the optics or that it can do f/1.2. At 1.2 the depth of field would be so thin it would be, imho, unnecessarily difficult to work with. I'd probably not use it below 1.4.
Very nice - I have a couple of nice camera bags but nothing that makes them easy to access. I'll have to look into the belt - what pouches are you using, by the same brand?
I know it's way off topic, but I tried my hand at split toning myself, I like the results.
