Walk in the Woods with my new 70-200 f4L

After my 70-200 f2.8 sigma from Tenerife fell through, i've been researching on Lens, then after trying out the Canon f4 version last weekend I made up my mind. Loved the feel and weight of the lens, and they priced matched at jessops, so very happy. Here are a few shots from a walk in the woods, and my brother's dog Connie...

1.


2.


3.


4.



I did crop quite heavily on some of these which has affected sharpness, and I was also using ISO 800 due to dull lighting, but overall pretty happy with them.

Now for some of a more patient subject...

5.


6.


Cheers,

Giz

It's a tasty lens that.

Out of interest, who did Jessops price match with as I'm having no joy with my local branch.

Radiohead - I got the lens pricematched with Warehouse Express, there is actually an advert in one of the camera mags this month saying they'll do it I believe, but I got it done without this.

I don't know what sort of price you paid but kerso does the 70 - 200 f4 L for less than £400 delivered and his service is excellent.
