[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 132923, member: 6573"] Hi Rick. I was using my Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VRII last weekend during a local football game. As far as addressing the DOF or the OOF area, this lens offers much more flexibility since it is a zoom lens. During the game, I was using f5.6 most of the time in order to get more DOF or in-focus area. The f4 model can compensate this by moving closer to the subject to get more isolation. Here are some examples to give you an idea on how the focal length and distance to the subject affects the DOF so that you can have your own creative way in controlling its effects. I was using my D7000 since it offers higher fps than my D800E. Sample at 200mm @ f5.6 [IMG]http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz169/gqtuazon/Yokosuka Seahawks/Seahawks047.jpg[/IMG] Sample at 92mm @ f5.6 [IMG]http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz169/gqtuazon/Yokosuka Seahawks/Seahawks117.jpg[/IMG] 200mm @ f4 [IMG]http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz169/gqtuazon/Yokosuka Seahawks/Seahawks177.jpg[/IMG] I hope this helps.
