[andstuff]

You'd be surprised. Although I'd prefer if you didn't believe me; more fish for us that way!

[blatt]

Lol that kid made twice as much as any given teacher hahaha. I would rub that in my teachers face. But im so jelous

 

[andstuff]

shot from my 70-200 f4

haha great use of the lens

 

[1337]

hahahah

 

[blatt]

It's a great portrait lens too.

 

[Kangbang]

Multiple jobs.

 

[blatt]

A portrait doesn't literally have to be a portrait. It can just mean shooting people with cowboy shots, bust shots or talking heads.

 

[andstuff]

It's very very easy to make portraiture look like recycled garbage; I've never seen it done well by anyone in the sports industry. Lately I've been looking at a lot of fashion stuff because some of it is actually really good...and my wife is a model so its something we can do together haha.

 

[1337]

again, you're married?

 

[blatt]

I didn't think married ns'ers even existed hahaha

 

[Kangbang]

Mr.Bishop, Mr.Huck.

 

[blatt]

You're right, clearly that post was entirely serious. As stated by the "haha"

 

[steezysteeze]

What's the difference between the 2.8 IS i and 2.8IS ii?

 

[1337]

the mark II has slightly faster AF, better IS, and newer elements so its sharper and has less problems (CA, ghosting, etc) , and it might be lighter.

 

[*simba*]

her?

 

[andstuff]

yes, you stalker

 

[blatt]

not lighter. it's definitely heavier

 

[1337]

looking it up, yup it is 20 grams heavier

 

[blatt]

Huge dealbreaker

[HeadyTopper]

haha

So i just got back from shooting outside. I kept my 70-200 on my camera for 90% of my shots. I love telephoto

Found a 70-200 F4L in mint condition, has always had a filter on it. Heckled the guy down from $670 (bs) to $500. Is that fair? It doesn't come with any extras.

 

[[J_Gasper]]

i think thats more then fair if its truly in great condition.

 

[NickSki.]

What kind of jobs can you get at 14? Walking dogs? No one around here would hire a 14 year old.

 

[zbphoto]

It's mint. I'm probably gonna go for it.

 

[zbphoto]

F4L, Picked it up for $500, its mint! So stoked, cannot wait to take this on a shoot.

 

[Daph]

I have the 2.8 IS and yea its heavy, but I lug it around at horse shows from 8 in the morning til 8 at night at least 5 times a week in the summer. its not that bad at all.

 

[TijmenDal]

Awesome deal!!!

 

[andstuff]

I just realized the irony of you posting that photo...which was shot with the 70-200 F4.

 

[MattL.]

for video is the f4L non is a bad idea because of shaking etc.?

 

[AK_Media]

I have the 2.8 IS II USM, shits crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Highly recommended, especially if ur shooting low light

 

[MattL.]

where do u get 2K?-__________- but any1 have an answer to my question?

 

[juicedrummer11]

street corners

 

[MattL.]

ahh i see, have you ever used the f4L?

 

[.jesus.]

not pictured 14 year olds on fishing vessels

 

[*simba*]

I'm just

that

good

 

[zbphoto]

F4L is such a nice piece of glass, shot this outside my house, I've just been doing a bunch of tests with it to see where it vignettes, where it performs best, ect. Super stoked to actually use it for the first time, shooting some pre-season arena shit, get stoke.

 

[MattL.]

yo so would f4L be bad for video cause theres no IS?

 

[zbphoto]

You would never shoot the 70 handheld, IMO, it would have to be stabalized (glidecam/tripod/ect.), so ass long as you have a good way to stabilize it you should be fine.

 

[MattL.]

ok thanks man

 

[andstuff]

It only works if you have a nice tripod. My 70-200 f4 non-IS collected dust for the first year I owned it because my Manfrotto tripod was too shitty to support it.

Either way, you have to spend about $2k, be it on a tripod or the lens.
