I'm not really into long lenses and fast action........ I'm really a 17mm/landscape kinda guy.


Comments welcome!

I've wondered about those, it seems, at least at this resolution, sharp enough..

#6 & #7 are the strongest IMO. I the the shots of her not hitting could have gown down a stop. I the the white pants were fooling your meter.

Why no hats?

The issue with those, the good ones anyway, is usually not with sharpness but with the bokeh and the limitations of a fixed aperture.

Sparky, looks like a good day at the ball field. Did her team win?

.........Did her team win?

It was a scrimmage.

Often seen this lense, nice to see some of what it can do. Not too bad, really.

I like #2, but would remove the yellow bar from the top. #6 is pretty serious looking, I like it!

Just how far out were you when getting these? like sideline-ish outfieldish?

Outside the outfield fence for some of 'em. She plays left field, so those were taken from between home and first. The last two she was running from third to home, so I was along the first base line.

Not a required part of the uniform in softball.

This is the mirror lens? That sounds cool, I forgot about that.
