the volleyball was with a 70-200 and shot hockey the other day with a 300 on the new body, keep a 16-35 on there most of the time, but find that 16 is too wide, so i tapped the zoom at 24mm. AF is a little slower then the 1D, making sports a little tricky at first, but just something to get used to. All-around, an awesome body!

Great work Pike,

I can really see your style developing. Your compositions fill the frame and also great peak moments caught. Very encouraging to see your style getting fine tuned over the last year. Hope you're keeping well.
