I love mine! Been shooting my son's soccer team with it.
...The only nagging doubt I have is whether I can use such a long lens (with crop factor factored in) in any sort of normal way...
Where did you order from, Bob? I'm on the fence whether to get this lens but think I will come off the fence if I can find it in stock .
which 75mm lens you might be talking about. I have LOVED some shots I've seen from that lens. I have no doubts that the quality is amazing. The only nagging doubt I have is whether I can use such a long lens (with crop factor factored in) in any sort of normal way. It's too short for zoo visits, but it's a bit long to try to use ANYWHERE inside. I look forward to seeing your shots, Bob.
I guess it depens on what you shoot at the zoo, but indoors it is a great portrait length.
Let's see the pics from the 75mm folks!
ISO 200, @f1.8, 1/250
