Oh, in fairness, I should mention that my 70-200mm is f/4. If I were a wedding photog it'd be a 2.8, but I didn't see the point of the extra weight.

Dave

comparing the 70-200 F4 to the 2.8 is hard, but I've noticed (it seems) that i get more contrast out of the 2.8. There's also considerably more vignetting and just being able to get that extra bukeh with ease is nice. And not to mention, 20 more minutes of shooting time in the evening

but overall, it is a very cumbersome lens. I don't really mind as the weight on my shoulders isn't too bad, but that being said, I put it on the black rapid strap, so the weight is spread a whole lot better.

The 70-200 F4, I would recommend in a heartbeat. But, just as strongly as the 2.8 Both are incredible, but the flexibility of the 2.8 won the day for me and that's why I parted with my F4.

I've got ISO 6400 and/or a tripod when it gets dark. f/4 serves my current needs. Still, if I were a wedding photog, I'd go with the f/2.8 because of the indoor lighting issues.

Hello from California...

Note to self: NEVER think you won't need your camera. There may be an awesome sunset and you'll be stuck with a P&S.

Oh well.

She's sporting more ink than The Boston Globe.

The1 · 01-31-2012, 10:29 AM

Ink can be fun.... but i think that was a different time in my life when I found those girls acceptable... Still nice to look at.

Meh. Never have liked it. Piercings either. Call me a purist. (Or is that puerile?)

Again, I'm the same way - I like my women pretty vanilla in that respect but when a chick is hot shes hot, I'm willing to look past that stuff. Piercings are harder to get over though. Even too many in the ears is a turn off.
