Description

This is from the weekend using my new 300mm 2.8 IS lens. I have to say that I am in love with it's ability to separate the subject from the background, I was shooting at F4 and ISO 400, because I had the 1.4X TC attached, but this lens loses nothing in the way of I.Q with a converter attached. I am very impressed with this glass so far!!
