Really impressed with the rendering of that lens, the players really pop even though you're not using a wide aperture. Any chance you could post a SOOC shot to see how much of this is the lens and how much is PP please?Shot a bit of local ladies football this weekend using the D750 with the old 70-210 f4-5.6. Never shot sports before, so reasonably pleased with how it went, could have done with a bit more reach, but the lens performed relatively well given its cost... definitely need to consider that 70-200 2.8 if I'm going to do more.
Settings wise, just winged it, so probably shot a bit too fast a shutter speed - could have slowed it down a bit and lowered the ISO (auto), but on the whole good fun.

Thanks, they're really good SOOC aren't they. Gotta be one of the best bargain lenses ever thatThis is SOOC, opened in PS and saved as a JPG, then JPGmini'd to reduce file size. The others have had a little bit of work done to them, but nothing major.

Really loving the 50mm at the moment

This formula gives a good approximation (no idea why it works but in testing it I have found it is close to what I measured ...) d = (f / s) * sh

ErrrWell I guess you’re only gaining 1 stop, which would be what shooting at ISO1600 instead of 2000. The D750 files clean up that nicely I’m guessing the real world speed difference may not be that much different - guess it just depends if you need that subject separation 2.8 offers.
*think I’m talking myself into an f4 myself
The f2.8 is great if you need the extra stop to improve shutter speed or ISO. Recently with the deer I've been maxing out the exposure setting because I'm limited to f4 on the 200-400. I'm regularly shooting at 1/500-1/800 sec at around ISO2000-3200. whilst in the rain the other day, being at 1/200 f4 iso4500 was pushing it but I want to show the rain too so would have been around there shutter speed wise anyway. I'm actually thinking of going the other way to you with swapping the 70-200 f2.8 to f4 due to weight of kit to carryfor landscapes. The only way I can ever see me change is if I swap the 200-400 with a 300 f2.8 as I find an f2.8 lens very helpful. the down side of f2.8 lenses is the extra weight but it pays off if you have conditions that really need it.
The shutter has stuck permanently on mine after playing up for a week. Photo shows that its part of the lastest recall and the stuck bit of the shutter at the top (blacked out area). It is under warranty with Panamoz so looks like Tina will be getting a email shortly.

OK I've just noticed that the rear glass turns/moves, nothing seems loose and no screws missing. does yours do that?
If you mean the glass that's inside the mount it doesn't appear to move on mine. Is there more than one model of this lens?

Do you need to send it in before that? Mine has been 'needing' to go in since last year but as I'm not seeing any problems I've yet to send it in. I don't see the point in sending it in if I can't see any problem. It would be interesting to see the actual number of cameras that have experienced the problem, I honestly don't think it's as bad as the recall sounds.
Yes the rear glass that's nearest to the camera, don't think that there is other models in the 100mm. Guess I'll have to see if it needs doing or get it sorted. Thanks.
