    NDP 2013

    Aspirational, inspirational photos. May I ask you if you will share how you got picture #13? What lens and camera setting? If you don't have a ticket to the NDP, where would you recommend to photograph its highlights? Thanks

    Canon 70-200 IS USM F2.8L II at $2,500 ever?

    On our price guide, CP had it last year at $2850.00 it is no longer at that price as that was a promo. I rented the lens from a rental and they said it had come down to $2,500. But I don't think it has. Maybe, for corporate buyers. But thanks for your comments Rhino 123

    Canon 70-200 IS USM F2.8L II at $2,500 ever?

    May have heard wrongly, but I heard that the price of the Canon 70-200 IS USM F2.8L II has come down to about $2,500. The price guide on this board does not suggest it. Anyone knows it it has ever come to this and where? Much appreciated

    What focal length telephoto lens is best for taking soccer/rugby pictures?

    No offence taken. I wanted to know what it takes, if budget were not an issue. Now I know. Does a TC affect the speed of the lens though? Thanks all for your comments

    What focal length telephoto lens is best for taking soccer/rugby pictures?

    Lens 6 has a shorter focal length, max 200mm but costs the most. Is it sufficient to capture a player's facial expressions halfway across the field. Thanks much. Perhaps I should rent one and try

    What focal length telephoto lens is best for taking soccer/rugby pictures?

    Hi Rhino I checked the prices of the first two lens. They are really too rich. Maybe the third choice. But what about a f4 lens like the EF70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM. Will that work? I won't always be able to get onto the sidelines.

    Am using a 650D. Thinking of buying a telephoto lens. Would appreciate your views about the best lens for taking pictures from the stands (Mostly) and from the sidelines of football or rugby games. Thank you in advance

    For sports photography, is buying a lens without IS advisable?

    I shoot soccer and rugby games from the stands/sidelines. Have been using a compact PS SX40HS, but am thinking of changing to a EOS 650 with F2.8 70-200 L lens. The cost of a lens with IS is about $1000 more than the one without. That would that be a big dent on my budget so I am in favour of...
