Re: Canon EF70-200mm f/4L USM
This lens is wonderful. I'm often shooting with my friend who owns this lens and the IQ is superb. We were doing some street/candid shots, horse parkour and portrait work - just amazing lens. For indoor shot I would prefer 2.8 non stabilized version or a 135 f/2 prime (to par with my 85 f/1.8 ). But for general outside usage it's just great.

What on earth makes you think I gave bad karma - I certainly didn't!
I would never smite someone for a photo I didn't like - I am over 12! (by a few decades....)
I would only give out bad Karma for unprovoked Ad Hominem attacks - like the one you just did on me (except I will be restrained in this case....)

I don't mind the edit of the tatty flag pic tbh. No skin off my nose, we all have our preferred ways of editing images. I've not really used photoshop lately, it's been all Lightroom 3, now with a dash of messing around with the Lightroom 4 beta.

Re: Canon EF70-200mm f/4L USM
awesome pictures, it makes me more sure that this is my next lens. We can't all be rich (as in allot of L-stock) right?

Re: Canon EF70-200mm f/4L USM
Go for it, it's probably the best value L lens you can get.
I would like more L lenses, but can't afford any at the moment. My Uncle has a 400mm or 500mm L lens along with a 7D. I'm not at all jealous.

I'm still a noob so I wasn't sure how high the ISO needed to be to freeze the action. Bumped it up pretty high to make sure.
