 THIS is why I rented the 70-200L. This shot was taken about 9PM (read: it was dark outside) under high school lights (which are admittedly better than the middle school lights I shoot under) from about 25 yards away.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this lens. Admittedly, I only *need* it for four or five weeks during football season, but at least now I know what "real" glass is like. I actually have some shots better than this one, but this was the easiest to get to.

this is perfectly timed. separation from the BG is top notch.

Great action shot and dof to isolate the players. I just tried doing some action shot myself except with Argentine football (aka soccer), but I didn't quite do it as well as this.

That kid's story featuring "you can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man" immediately came to mind. Nice stop action!!

Nice action shot. After I got my 24-70L most of my other lenses look soft. Damn that L-glass!
