Guys and Ladies,


I recently picked up that old 1D and I've got to tell you, for shooting basketball with a flash sync at 1/500 it is sweet. The autofocus servo is better than my 40D which is why I'm in this quandry. I shoot my 70-200mm with a 1.4 converter and frankly my lowly 70-200mm f4 with converter looks better than my 2.8 at the same 5.6 aperture. F4 with the 70-200mm and 1.4 converter is not sharp and loses a lot of contrast. I know logically I should get the 100-400mm lens vs. the 1D markII but the quality of the 1D is why I'm torn. Besides with the 1D I chimp less.
