Shoots looks some flat because the weather was rainy and there was no good light in the park

Some soccer shots. And they say girls can't play soccer..!?

I'll post the scaled down versions, click on the images for bigger versions.







As you can clearly see the lens sucks not.

Weather sealing came handy, too, as it was raining (slightly) all day...

This is the closest my 11 month old gets to 'sports':

Gymnastics?


Fencing?


Michael Phelps?


Some others...

This is a standard tomato shot, but look at the surface detail and color rendition
in the crop:










Goodbye...

you guys are evil for bringing this post back! very impressed by the photos on this (page 4) for me. "Oceanside" is my favourite , good work kunik
i'm really tempted by this lens but i have the 55-300 (that's f4 up to about 125) coming in so i'll try that out for now.

The lens is well suited for a "rough" beach shot !

Hi! What teleconverter do you use for this lens? Preferably with SDM.
