Images taken with your 70-200mm f2.8 / f4 zoom lenses

gqtuazon · Aug 4, 2014

I just wanted to start a thread that will include a wide range of images taken by this type of zoom lens made by various manufacturers. It will serve as an archive for those who are still undecided in getting one in the future.

Please include the lens manufacturer and for Nikon owners, indicate VRI or VRII. The f4 VRII version should show up on the exif data. For those who have the 80-200mm f2.8 version. You are welcome to join in as long as you indicate the lens version since they came with the two ring and push and pull version.

Fire away.

That is pretty good at f2.8. Since both couple's faces are about parallel to each other, the DoF worked out good. Your daughter's eyes are well focused.

Yes, I didn't intend to shoot wide open, but it worked out. This was one of the early shots, and I told them to keep their faces on the same plane. Later I reduced the aperture, but this was one of the better shots.
