I like a comfortable working distance. the 24-70L is my fav and sharpest lens I have, but its heavy. I tend to use the 24-105L now when I'm out in the field.... but for portraits it's the 24-70L or the 70-200 2.8L USM IS ... take it easy dude I sole my 100mm 2.8 macro and now use the Sigma 150 2.8 Macro and sometimes add the sigma 1.4x tc.

I tend not to use telephotos lenses that much, preferring to use the 24-70L f/2.8 lens. I like to get real close to the action or subject. I like to capture a foreground and a background. But every time I use the 300 mm f/4, I always remind myself that I need to use it more often because it produces great images - especially if I focus on someone's facial expressions. Another lens for facial expressions is the 100mm f/2.8. That's not an L lens, but it might as well be because it is extremely sharp. Prime lenses are always sharper than zoom lenses.

I have the 70-200 2.8L IS; great lens but heavy. the new one 70-200 4.0L USM IS is great, sharp, and light. makes a difference if you're hiking it. Dunno if you use teles that much in your work but if you need to go above 300, consider the canon 400 5.6L. The sharpest and lightest you'll ever get. sharper than a 100-400L; and sharper than 70-200 + 2x. The 300 2.8L USM IS is the sharpest canon lens out there. it’s sweet.

It's an f/4 with IS. A hell of a lens. I can only imagine the f/2.8. The next lens I will one day buy is the 70-200 f/2.8 IS. I currently have the 70-200 f/4 and it's a decent lens, but I am always looking to upgrade. I wish it were an f/2.8.

My problem was having the putzes leaves me alone to take pics. I still got decent pics albeit at ISO 1600 or ISO 3200 (how I could have used a nikon d3 for that show) but did you get in a 300 2.8L lens? if you did, wow! Carlos, I had no problem getting it in.

I even managed to sneak in a 300mm lens. I ended up with decent shots considering I was sitting in the nosebleed section. I'm not really a big Police fan. Now if it were the Stones, I would have been thrilled. What I did was I had the gear in my backpack. When I walked into the gates, the guy asked to check my backpack. But I had my friend behind me try to walk in with an open beer, so when they saw that, they immediately started dealing with him. I kept walking and I heard them say, "sir, come back here" but I acted as if I didn't hear them. Cohiba,

Aggravating. "So I can TELL people that Flamingo Park is a total family friendly park, but I can't show that in a photo?" Whatever. Guy was a wiener.

This should make police work EASIER, by their just leaving you alone to do your work. It appears that youtube and internet sites have some police officers scared that their actions will be scrutinized so they try to curtail your rights out of fear for their jobs . . . and if you're mild and meek they can intimidate ya. Not you buddy. . . . seems like you pretty much can take any pictures you want as long as you stay away from private property.
