    7-on-7 football passing league tournament

    This last Saturday I shot a local football passing league tournament and had a blast. I shot the first game with the 300 f/2.8 and then changed to my 70-200 f/2.8 with the 1.4x for the next two games. I then put back on the 300 and forced myself to shoot the remaining three games with to give it a work out and become familuer with it.

    These first shots are with the 70-200.








    These last shots were taken with the 300 f/2.8

    I just have to say I love this lens (300). It's fast and the pictures come out very sharp.

    Nice job Jim, it seems you were having fun with both of them, but it looks like that 300 lens will be a keeper.

    I have an AllStar game Sat., the Indiana North vs South game with players who just graduated HS, in their last HS game.

    Thanks JS, It is diffently a keeper and I look forward to shooting a lot more with it.

    I'm finished with baseball, although a friend of the family is playing in an All-Star game tonight. Don't know if I'll take any shots or not.

    Good luck with your game JS
