I love the rare opportunity to shoot high school football in daylight! These three were captured with a Canon 1DX III body equipped with an EF 200-400 f4 with integrated selectable 1.4X extender. I love the versatility of this lens and it is wonder...

Friday night I took a nice 65 mile road trip to shoot a high school football game and before the game the AD and one of our senior players asked me if I would mind helping a new photographer. The "new photographer" is the youngest brother of one of ...

Whether lack of IS is a major issue depends upon what type of photography you plan on doing. A 300 f2.8 is a great sports lens and for that type of photography you will typically be using a shutter speed fast enough to make IS unnecessary. But if y...

I love my EF 400 f2.8 IS II! I shoot primarily sports where the wider aperture is important but what I think you will notice most about this lens is how quickly it grabs focus. In general, a prime lens is less complex than a zoom lens and that show...

Your camera AF system is limited to working with a lens setup that provides at least a f8 aperture when wide open. The 2X extender combined with the Sigma 150-600 results in an minimum aperture that is beyond the AF capabilities of your camera body....
