Default OFFTOPIC. Mikes Lucky Picture of the month.

So, a few weeks ago my Pops and I went to see the Caps post an a$$ whoopin' on Boston. I decided to whip out the old SLR and my big gun zoom lens

Took these shots.....









Nothing but net.....




.... from the 400 section...

"Dude.. you got that goal?!?!"


yep.. from all the way up here:


Love my SLR, and cheap glass. I can't wait to actually buy some good lenses!

Nice pics - What lens(es) were you using? The EXIF data did not show the model(s) other than focal length.

I use any of these three for youth soccer - 70-200 F4L, 100-300 F4 EX Sigma, and 300 F4L IS. I have had F2.8 lenses but sold them in favor of a compromise between speed and size, not that the 300s on a 1D is anything portable and inconspicuous. They are HUGE on my XTi.

I am using a 75~300.. but no IS.. its a quantaray. Cheap glass.

I want to replace my walk-around lens first, which is the kit lens... and then step into something with IS later (70~300). So expensive.

Try the 28-300 f/3.5-5.6L IS USM Lens. It is a beast but the range is good. On an 1.6xFOV body, the range is like 45-480! Not much on the wide but killer on the long. It is more reasonable on a 1.3xFOV body like the 1D.



My wife uses the 17-85 IS and I use the 24-105 F4L IS as the walk arounds.

CAMERA NERDS! FTW!
