TT, have you seen this regarding the 70-300 IS? http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...hread=16623268

Some people are getting blurry pics in portrait (standing) only.....

Oh yes, actually noticed that too, rare but it happens even at less than 300 actually.
But I take so few portait pics anyway

Coming back at the silica: how long should I put them in the microwave?

In a regular oven a couple of hours at 50 degree C according to my Google-research.

Big news for me! After Darkel, my turn to take a step into the L world!

Here is the new baby on the Audi A4 that is taking the place of the Porsches for now (V6 2.8 quattro, 174 hp)


And first pic, 100 meters after leaving the store.. sadly the light turned green so I had only a sec to shoot (1/60, > 100 mm)...


How cool it is compared to the "cheaper" ones is beyond belief with it I had to buy also the 77mm polariser and a new backpack obviously

Congratulations on the lens! But beware, you'll quickly become an L-coholic now.

I'd rather try to grap a F2.8 also for short range, but I still have some time to think about it

--

Highway hunting, 200mm, 1/250, F3.2 and that's a 100% crop :shock:


200mm, 1/320, F3.5

f/2.8 wideangles are great, that's why I exchanged my 17-40 f/4 L for an older 17-35 f/2.8 L.

Nice captures on the highway!
