hello everyone!
at the moment, i am seriously considering
getting this lens, as i have heard about it's amazing image quality. it is also black, and relatively small/light.
essentially, i am looking for a telephoto lens for use for outdoor
sports, and probably wedding candids (indoors/outdoors).
i have
thought about getting one of the 70-200mm canons, but they are either
too slow (f/4), or too expensive and big (f/2.8). i know that the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L II USM Lens
is not as flexible one of the zooms, but i am more interested in using
the 200mm, rather than the 70mm end, because i already have the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens to cover that "lower" focal range
so, if anyone out there has used this lens, then i would like to know what you think of it. how easy is it take handheld shots? at what kind of shutter speeds can you still get sharp images at - especially when using an APS-C crop camera? do you find it has limited use because of the fixed 200mm focal length? i'd really appreciate any feedback you have!
thanks =)
