I bought the 200 with two events particularly in mind : the kind of dance I put in the last pages, and sumo ... first sumo test was last week end, and I loved it

it is officially the FIRST time EVER that I am happy to get a flash during one of my shot

check the HD and a few wikipedia links here :

This is another thread we must not let die.
How else can we communicate the characteristics of the lens ? With words alone ?

The duck photography season is here and with it our usual wretched weather/light of the Great Lakes.

In fact, the use of 200 f/2.0 for these kinda shooting conditions could hardly be justified.
First and foremost, its target isolating capability is wasted on that wretched background. Second, if shot wide open, it is difficult maintaining sufficiently sharp focus on bird's head because of very narrow DoF. Thirdly, at shutter speeds needed here, IS is hardly of any help.....after all, the lens is only 200mm.

One would probably do better by using 200 f/2.8 or 300 f/4 prime.......much cheaper, much lighter, and there shouldn't be a problem in raising ISO by one or two stops in order to shoot at preferred F/4 or f/5.6.

The two shots below are about 50% enlargement crops, lens wide open, ISO 200, camera 1DMkIIN.

I haven't had nearly enough time to use the new 200 F2. I've never done BIF and so here is a real first - although the "in-flight" part is questionable

An few years ago I had that bag for the 300 f/2.8. Well built and very similar to Tenba LL 300 case. However, there was one feature that turned out to be a hindrance: the flap cover wouldn't stay open on its own. I had to keep it open with one hand while trying to get the len into the bag with the other. I don't know if they still have that design today.

Either way, that experience made me switch to Tenba LL cases, and quite happy with those.


I prefer the Kenesis large lens bags to lightware. Details are better thought out. It's part of a system than can be configured different ways. One side is flat and can be carried as a shoulder bag or made into a backpack. Add side bags and the backpack can carry additional smaller lenses.
For all the flexibility it doesn't cost much than Lightware.

Andrew Welsh - I think this last group of photos posted Oct 13 is a fine use of the lens, and fine presentation - beauty shown naturally, without the space alien overprocessed look.

Thanks man. Not big on overprocessing either.
