Spesh Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I was down at the ski club this weekend with my new camera, so thought I'd share some of the photos that I took in between sets. I was using a Nikon D800 with a Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VRII.... http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8541/8670781314_1c9eaf17d4_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8397/8669504684_611d5a184e_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8402/8668417223_496f03eee9_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8389/8669500362_6eb0405190_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8386/8668392615_6f9d96f0dd_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8383/8669488034_7df5fac38c_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8389/8668391293_780de74ced_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted April 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 24, 2013 @Spesh I think if you will push smaller images to flicker they will not distort when you link here. When I publish to the web I go rarely go bigger that 800px across.

Spesh Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks guys. @Horton I was hoping that people would click on the text links, as the images are much better when viewed large on Flickr. Point noted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted April 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 24, 2013 @Spesh Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VRII . . Oooooo that is my next big purchase. I already have the other two key 2.8 lens. 17-24 and 24-17 Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spesh Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 @Horton Yes the 70-200 VRII is probably Nikon's best zoom. The focus speed and accuracy are unbelievable (especially on the D800). I often use mine with the TC-14ii teleconverter. I want to pick up the 200-400 F4 for shooting waterskiing. Or maybe a 300mm f2.8 prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted April 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 24, 2013 I don't think the 200 to 400 was reviewed that well Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spesh Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 In my experience, the 200-400 is a superb performer, so long as you don't push it too much towards the long end. Between 200mm and 350mm performance is spectacular. But I agree, things do drop off quite rapidly in the 350-400 range. AF tracking is still superb though.
