Hi,
Here are some "action" shots made today with my bazooka Very Happy ....
A beautifull lens but verry verry heavy and definitively not the ideal lens for sport shots! Focusing between f/4 & f/5,6 at 500mm on a moving subject is quite a real challenge.....

Hat off!!

Perfect sport pictures. Pro quality.

The lens is astounding. Canonians say they have the best long teles, but I'd not be so sure. I don't think it's really possible to do better than this Nikkor.

For long teles it's really a head to head Nikon-Canon for top quality
Only Leica would be same or more but their long teles cost like 2-3 of my cars so I don't count them - would be unfair to the other contenders and perhaps also a bit immoral.

Some very good shots here, especially very smooth backgrounds. Pity the ball is not 100% in the frame on #6.

I do not see what we could reproach to this lens. Maybe not being a 400/2.8 Very Happy

Well, you are right but I was already happy to have my boy in focus and a piece of the ball in the frame Very Happy ...

I would think it is nearly impossible to get such nice pictures with a cannon like that! Great work.

Thanks Minolfan....
concerning Canon tele-lens, I have no idea if Canon as also a 4/500 MF lens......but if 90% of the sport photograph use Canon (AF lenses of course!), there is probably a good reason!!!!!!

Superb images and focus Pascal,

I can only imaging how hard it must have been to focus on the kids ducking and weaving Shocked

As everyone else has said, what a magnificent lens, WOW.

+1 for all the compliments above. You really did a remarkable job with that monster. Personally, I stopped at 300 - remainder are much too big for me. Embarassed
