Thanks for all of the replies...


Dallasphotog: Oh dear. I don't even know what to say about the sharpness. If the player had a stray thread on his shirt, we'd see it.[H]


Dev: This time, I'll have to hold on the rental - I've been really busy the last few days. By the way, a shop near my house rents the 70-200 2.8 IS L and a shop downtown rents the 300 2.8 IS - But as awesome as the 300 is, I think the 70-200 should be used for a little while first.


Peety3: This is high school - So any shot would be sufficient. But, I don't play by that rule. I want to get the best shot possible. My audience is the student body, and the paper is just a student paper that sometimes gets sports photos. I can bet for atleast another game this year. Your take on the slow supertele/fast tele situation is good. The 135 and 70-200 are very good lenses, and I'll consider them the next time I rent. Thanks for the help.
