Leafs on a cold day.

Cool! The 1st and 3rd stand out more to me.

While I was home visiting the family for Christmas, Dad and I took a trip to the Suwannee River State park. In a tree hollow was a pair of tiny 3" spiderwebs covered in raindrops. Barely could get the lens inside the hollow and illumination from the 580 flash was primarily reflected light.

Moth on a gal tank. I spotted this one on a gal tank in my backyard. It amazes me how well they blend in.

Not the normal use for this lens, but this and my Rokinon 14mm 2.8 were all I had with me at the time. It was -11 F with a -35 chill factor. I was on my way to work, so not really dressed for an extended time outdoors.

I think I'm sold on this lens!

It's cold, white and barren where I live so I've got slews of pictures of leaves in the snow. The third picture is a poinsettia leaf I've dolled up a bit with a brocaded texture.

Curious, has anyone attempted to use this lens for sports?
Care to share your attempts?

Never tried it for sports. It might be a bit short depending on what your photographing.

Yes, I did.
Sorry, but I don't have any samples right now. There were two occasions. One was youth ice hockey outdoor training (artificial light) and I was not very impressed (however I'm not blaming the lens because I'm totally inexperienced in this kind of shooting). The second try was outdoor medieval fair tournament (does it count as a sport? )and results were better (lens focused quicker).

Thanks guys, for my daughter's indoor basketball, I am currently using the 70-200 f/4 on a 6D. As good as the high ISO is on the 6D, I don't like having to crank it up so high to be able to use a shutter speed of 1/400-1/500. Sports will not be my primary use of this lens, it would just be a pleasant side effect if it can be used

And I can imagine, how you had to perform contortions doing this handheld.
congrats.
