I would like some advice on my next lens purchase please.
I intend to do some snowboarding and mountain biking photography whilst I recover from surgery on my knee. I may also take some photos of sports such as rugby over the winter.
I am looking for a suitable lens for my Canon 350D and my budget is around the $1k CDN mark.
The two lenses I am considering are a new Canon 70-200mm f4 L or a second hand Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L. (The IS versions of both of these lenses are a little out of my price range.)
- Which lens do you think would be more suitable?
- Is the aperture of the f4 lens wide enough to isolate my subjects? If anyone has any example pictures taken with the f4 to allay this concern, I would love to see them.
Many thanks for your help.
