70 - 200 soccer samples

[Ann McRae]

I tested the new(to me) lens the other night in horrid weather conditions - 0C and a dreadful wind. I only took about 25 shots beecause my hands were just too cold. The season starts tonight, and I am at the U16 boys game (as opposed to the U12 boys) so there should be some really great action going on.
Here are a few samples from the other night:

I think me and the lens are going to be happy with each other.

Looks good Ann :thumb :thumb


I can see why you only took a limited number of shots. That's just too cold for soccer....lol Good luck with the bigger boys today :clap I'm sure the fast AF and the extra reach will come in handy :D
