    tele zoom

    @ Newbie 808: what is more important for you, the wide angle to normal range or the tele range? If you shoot more tele (I love it even in street photog) then why don't you check out Canon's new EF...
  2. Re: Your experience with the new EF 70-200/2.8 L IS USM II

    Well, thank you so much to all for your great support. I still need to think about this issue. Both the 70-200/2.8 and the 300/2.8 have their pros and cons for me...
  3. Re: Your experience with the new EF 70-200/2.8 L IS USM II

    Wow, so great shots, Rich! Obviously the 300/2.8 works perfectly with the 7D's AF, even with an extender.


    No problem with the delay. I've been extremely busy these days.


    Best, Roland
  4. Re: Your experience with the new EF 70-200/2.8 L IS USM II

    Thanks for your nice help! Yes I could hire one in a pro shop here in Frankfurt and I think I'll do that the next time I see a good occasion. Maybe with children in a zoo, then I have both the chance...
  5. Re: Your experience with the new EF 70-200/2.8 L IS USM II

    That's true. I covered my 400/5.6 with a camouflage wrapping since I observed that this long white thing scares in particular wild birds. I meet sometimes those guys with the really fat lenses such...
  6. Re: Your experience with the new EF 70-200/2.8 L IS USM II

    Impressive shots! Thank you, it is certainly a great lens. Well, I am used to heavy gear, and I think if I invest in this lens, I may keep my light 70-200/4 for those days I do not want heavy gear.

    Rich,


    As I live in Europe (Frankfurt, Germany) I reply with a good sleep's delay but I must be brief this morning. Have to work and make the Euros I need for such an expensive hobby [:D]. I'll...
  9. Re: Your experience with the new EF 70-200/2.8 L IS USM II

    Look really great. Amazing that most of those action pics were well focused! This clearly beats my 70-200/4 IS, so far one of my best AF tele performers in combo with my 7D.
  10. Re: Your experience with the new EF 70-200/2.8 L IS USM II

    Rich,


    I know. Indoors in low light & social shooting I prefer my EF 50/1.4, I already stopped using very often my 17-55/2.8 for that purpose as it is still not fast enough (I love to work with...

    Hi John,





    Yep, looks like... love in particular the white-tailed eagle. I know this typical jitter texture of fence's grids from zoo shootings... sometimes I love this strange effect,...

    Hi Rich,


    Thanks for the quick, great and absolutely convincing comment. Your pics look very nice. In particular I love the one with the young lady - not only because she is so beautiful but...
  13. Your experience with the new EF 70-200/2.8 L IS USM II

    This is addressed to all that use an EF 70-200/2.8 II: I'd appreciate to read some posts about your experience with it - in particular of those who use it with a crop cam. I have a 7D and a 50D as...

    Re: 35mm f/1.4L vs. 70-200mm f/4L IS

    Well, you only could use the 70-200/4 with slowly moving objects indoors. Its IS is very good but it is not fast, indeed. I never use mine indoors, if I then need such a tele zoom range I use a...

    Re: 35mm f/1.4L vs. 70-200mm f/4L IS

    Well, I am prime fan, too, but if it comes down to the 70-200/4 IS I'd say it is so sharp that it meets the quality of a good prime. Only my EF 100/2.8 IS beats it in terms of sharpness in that range...

    Re: Lens upgrade for my 7D

    That's a nice compliment, thank you [:D]. Interesting: I really don't know whether the secret is my abstinence of filters, never thought about that before. I do sometimes use filters, e.g. polar...

    Need to be brief as I have to leave for a party ([H]). Without retesting it now I think you hit it! When I did that past year I definitely did not cover the viewfinder and if I remember correctly I...

    @ neuroanatomist: this filter issue kept me thinking now. The 77 mm filter that I used is quite old I must say. I checked it now with a much newer one of my wife

    Re: Lens upgrade for my 7D

    Yes I was surprised, too. As a physicist I would have expected nearly no changes. But when I used AV und fixed the aperture, my 50D and 7D nearly doubled exposure time when I screwed the filter on...

    Re: Lens upgrade for my 7D

    If you can live with the restrictions of primes you could consider the EF 400 mm f/5.6 L USM as an alternative. I have both this one and the EF 300 mm f/4 L IS USM to add those two prime tele ranges...

    Re: Lens upgrade for my 7D

    Hi to all,


    I am new here, too... quite helpful forums. I use all those three lenses listed by Gustaftoni with my 7D very often. I am not sure but maybe my delayed comment still may help you.
