New 70-200 2.8 test shots!

[eric-holmes]

I finally got a halfway sunny day and I decided to get out and try out the 70-200. All of these were shot at f/2.8. How is the sharpness, etc? All of these are SOOC Jpeg. I wanted to see what the lens did, not my post processing.

**Please note, these are not supposed to be very interesting.**

And here is a quick PP of one of the above...

shoot the grass so you can see how deep the DOF is wide open. Looks sharp to me.

100% crop from a RAW file. Only levels adjusted. No sharpening PP.

Thanks, I'll try that or a tape measure.

Ok, here are two DOF shots. This is the best I could come up with right now. And they were hand held because I don't have a tripod to hold up this beast.

Focus on the red #32.

Man.. there is no way you would sell that LOL. Start shooting people with it, you wont depart with it.

 

[eric-holmes]

Ha! I just realized that I didn't even zoom all the way in!

Edit: Um, yes I did. Apparently the EXIF data doesnt translate correctly.

I need to test that vs my sigma 70-200mm, I love that lens but I would love to see how it stacks up! Plus I got a sweet deal on it! I got it almost new from a guy that bought a bunch of stuff and it just sat on his self for a year. IN THE BOX LOL! He might have used it twice! got mine for $400.
