mbpics said:unfortunate choice of words in the title ;D
please don't shoot the pope.
You sure? ... that looks extremely large pic for a 1700mm lens ;Dbchernicoff said:Here it is. Here's the picture he got! I guess it was too much lens.
Interesting article ... thanks for sharing. It's funny how Nikon does not use the name "Canon" (as their competitor) in that article ... it merely says "rival company":privatebydesign said:Amazing to think the arms race that brought us the Canon EF 1200 5.6L and the Nikon 1200-1700 5.6-8 was driven by high school baseball! Specifically at the Koshien Stadium.

See the first word of the subject ;DTotoEC said:To the OP: So where is the picture of the pope taken by this Nikkor 1200-1700mm Lens? All the hype for this lens and no follow ups?
If I had left the subject title at "Waiting to Shooting the New Pope", yes it would have been tasteless.RobPan said:I think the title 'Shooting the Pope with [..]' is unlucky, not to say tasteless.
The word "shooting" is used routinely by many photographers to describe the process of making an image, just because Pope John Paul II was shot does not make the subject title "unlucky" OR "objectionable" OR "tasteless".RobPan said:you may remember that in 1981 the then Pope, John Paul, was indeed shot in Rome by a Turkish gentleman.
This makes 'Shooting the Pope' different from, say, "Shooting the Rocky Mountains' to which I would raise no objection.
If I had left the subject title at "Waiting to Shooting the New Pope", yes it would have been tasteless.
But that is not what I did, the subject title is and always has been "Waiting to Shoot the New Pope with Nikkor 1200-1700mm lens" ...

I get your point, but for me the primary meaning of "shooting" still crops up, perhaps because English is only my second language. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Although I cannot read the exif data on these images, looks like both the images are made with Nikkor 1200-1700mm lens.

If these are really the photos from that lens...i must say, the lens isn't very good..the images look dark, blur and soft
Interesting article, thanks for sharing ... but I couldn't help notice this pic (4th in the blog) of a heavy lens on a seemingly weak tripod that too with the center column extended, kinda odd.privatebydesign said:Atmospheric distortions normally kill any sharpness and contrast from such long distance shots.
That is the difference between measurbators, enthusiasts, pros and picture editors. When picture editors need an image the pros get the best they can, in this instance the distance severely limits expectations.
This is an interesting article on using the same lens to take pictures of the French President on Bastille Day, http://blogs.reuters.com/blog/archives/8068
In the third image of the article the white lens to picture right is the 1200 f5.6 Canon.
