I am mostly would trade its macro capability for absolute AF speed.  An 100mm f/2 L would have been a killer lens for sports.  It still would make a great portrait lens. :p

How is the lag?  I've been experimenting with an inexpensive HDMI to USB capture device, but the apparent lag is significant.  The signal is delivered as an USB web cam at 1080P, and both ...

Why 105mm?

I personally dislike the 300mm focal length itself. It seems to be too long or too short most of the time. I'm a 200/400mm kind of guy. Canon's 300 is probably the sharpest lens in their lineup. Th ...

You can use high-speed sync with high ISO or use another strobe to light your background.  Pick your poison. Or, buy a leaf shutter camera.

Here is one unedited.

I can easily give up my 70-200mm zoom. Love my 35mm f/1.4 II every time I use it. Then again, I hardly shoot landscapes, wildlife and nature, lol.

It's harder to shoot younger players, as they seem always looking down at the ball.  The images look clean enough with details, even at ISO 10K.  I personally would delete #3, as the main subject ...

Hmm, aren't you giving up E-TTL? Does EOS-R have a PC Sync connector?

I think this is mostly a handheld lens. However, it looks like a harder (and more expensive) design if you do need one, as it seems the collar and the foot are in one single piece.

...then 200mm will work better IMO.

My choice has always been the 200mm prime with f/2, as I never liked 300mm.  300 is either too long or too short for me.  I also have the 400mm f/2.8, so it is an easy choice. You should consider ...

What were the reasons for you to sell your previous one?  Do the same reasonings apply? I still love mine, and I would buy another if it is gone right now.

Wish it had 2 lav mic inputs, but it is still a great device regardless.

You will need a large grip to make it handheldable.

Both 5D4 and 1D X are slightly better than a 5D3. The differences are very incremental, however, and I rank a lot of them as convenience features. Having said that, I'd save the money and buy a ...

Don't fall in love with your work!  Throwing away suboptimal shots will only make your work better.  Also, as time progresses, you will learn what kind of shots you want and move away from most of ...

I don't shoot concert, but, since you're in a sports forum, you will get my sports minded answers... First, find out where is your bottleneck, and work your way down.  You should get "almost" ...

Love this shot.  Very clean!
