What'd you use?
I really hope I can convince my wife I need a similar lens... then with a 1.4x converter you would be sitting pretty good.40D w/ 70-200 2.8L lens. Not perfect for football, a longer lens works better - but I'm not in the sports biz yet and can't justify that cost.

I thought about renting a 1.4x for this weekend but decided against it. Certainly would have helped.
These are miles better than the ones I took last year with my 28-135, most of those were too far away and out of focus.
I shot at 2.8 and 3.2 most of the day.
LOL, you maxed out at 3.2 yet I barely hit 3.5. I average more around 4-4.5.
With that lense of yours, what shutter speed did it give you? Were you able to jumpt to 250 - or even need to? I bet 150 was probably enough.
Most were between 1/1000 and 1/2000. ISO 400.
Even though my Xs is an entry level camera it does pretty darn good at 800 and 1600 ISO.The light was ok, it was overcast most of the time but that is actually ideal. Was nice to get the sun out at the end, especially for the head shots I took, like using the sun as a rim light, such as the shot of Bo.
The 40D is a very good body for noise at higher ISO settings. I've got some natural light portraits I shot at 1600 that showed minimal noise.
