Hi Tony,

Good point, that price point would probably put it out of my reach, too.

That is certainly more in my price range and would work well for outside soccer. My 70-200 2.8 IS currently covers it well and since my images with it are so good they crop nicely to help make up the difference in lens reach. I think the quality of them cropped is better than were I using the current 70-300mm lenses currently offered. I think it is also better than the 28-300L because it tries to cover too much and compromise enters the equation.

I do know what you mean Tony, we all tend to look through our own prism and make the leap we are all doing the same things. []
