Is the bird dropping it's "payload" in the pic??? :bsmilie:
the 70-200/2.8 is a different beast by itself. though it's good in low light, it depends a lot on the individual using it. some can hold at very slow shutter speeds, some simply can't. i am one of those who can't so i see no point in upgrading my 80-200/2.8 for the VR version.
the 70-300 will have more pulling power when shooting candids but being a 'slow' lens, you have to bump up your ISO or use flash in indoor area.
70-200/2.8: good for low light, indoor sports, etc. (con: heavy)
70-300: good for candids, light weight, outdoor sports, travel, etc.
you already have a great lens (50mm) for low light if focal range is not an issue. the 70-200/2.8 will be great for indoor sports.
large aperture lens (2.8 or faster) do focus faster especially in low light.
looking at your 'arsenal' the 70-200/2.8 will be a good inclusion if you shoot indoor events and sports regularly but 200 for sports is a little bit limiting. if you use flash, the 70-300 lens will also be a good asset for indoor events.
why not buy both? :bsmilie:
each lens has it's use and usage.
looks like. good catch.....eh drop! :thumbsup:
the 70-200 f2.8 is more than twice the price of the 70-300VR...
is budget ur concern?
Frankly speaking i would prefer the 70-300 VR more cos of more reach and i can save the $$ for other equipment... hehe
but tat's just me...
that's true as you can put more money into your regular shooting lens like 17-50/2.8 and get the 70-300VR and still have change left.
Hi I am new to DSLR. Owe a D80 with Kit lens 4months already. father of 2 sons and like to shoot some kids photo and occasionally love to bring them outdoor. But lazy to bring my Manfrotto 190ProB tripot along.
Anybody use the AF-S VR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED lens before? Pls share your experience.
U can goto my flickr homepage. All photo @ formula Drift are captured using 70-300mm VR.
Only cropping and resize is done only...
Cheers..No Regret.
I love this lens for 3 simple reasons.
1. It is fast enough.
2. It is sharp enough.
3. It is light in weight and $$$.
Hope these 2 pictures confirms the stated 3 reasons.
