your series of photography is a study of an amazing culture. You definitely capture what makes Japan so unique to outsiders. Thank you very much for posting those pictures here for the world to experience. Simply outstanding.
Richard > yes, at f2.5 .. I have been covering this and the sumo using 100% the 200mm, I bought the lens for this kind of pictures, and I really loves it
Ed > thank you very much for your comment at it shows in a very nice way that those pictures are doing what I intend them to do - change the way people look at apan and make them want to understand this country and come over

Really? I thought the Canon 70-200mm was at least comprable to the Nikon version in image quality? I love my 70-200mm, although I desire greatly the 200mm f/2 and 300mm f/2.8 Nikkors. As always inspiring awesome photography.

Grognard > are you kidding ? the 70-200 has not seen the light recently I found the complement I needed for the 85, for when I cannot get close enough
when they make a 135 f2.0 IS (or let s hope f1.8 ) I am selling the 70-200

Grognard > the 70-200 is fantastic but for my line of images I can cope with a prime and I love to try to work around the difficulty of using it with fast moving subjects while keeping the composition as I want it, it is very challenging
you should really try out the Nikkors 200/2 and 300/2.8 I am sure you would enjoy them. Beware to do it only if you can afford them !
