I rent it for anything that I know is going to be really dark. Bands for example:





iso 1600, 85mm, f/1.2, 1/200 sec





iso 1600, 85mm, f/2.0, 1/125


When I do choose to rent this lens with the conditions I shoot in, I don't think any lens would auto focus well so I'm happy using manual focus. Coming from the 70-200 and 24-70 weight is not a concern but it does have a higher density.


For most of what I do my other 2 lenses get the job done(especially the 24-70; I don't use the 70-200 much i.e. keith).
