[QUOTE="Essence of Imagery, post: 17515, member: 920"] [b]Re: Can someone explain this to me?[/b] You're a sports photographer on the sidelines of an NFL game, trying to get that ultimate "hit" shot of the QB being sacked - but he's clear on the other end of the field at the opposing 10 yard line. If you want to get the shot, how do you do it? From experience, with my 70-200mm f/2.8 with 2x teleconverter, you still aren't going to get the shot. With this lens, you'll get it - at a speed that you can stop the action. When it sells to Sports Illustrated for $10,000 - you'll be happy you invested in this lens. On the "green" side, I'd probably use it in a field to capture images of hawks, kites (the birds), egrets, herons, etc. without spooking them, or invading their space. Someone got lucky enough to spot a bald eagle floating around in our airspace just north of Sebastopol - and that's what I'd use the lens to capture. [/QUOTE]
