Beautiful lens.I shoot a combination of sports (college football, basketball, hockey, etc etc), social events ( weddings, dances, conferences, dinners, receptions), portraits, and nature photography. This lens excels at all of them.Originally I had bought the non-IS version, however I have found that the IS is essentially for low light photography. At 200mm on my 7D ( which is really 320mm), I can shoot at 1/30 and even 1/20 of a second and get good results with the IS. This lens also does a superb job at focusing in low lights, much better than my 24-70 f/2.8.When shooting sports this lens does a good but not great job focusing, for the most part it gets it right, however every now and then it will blow a photo out of focus ( EOS= every other shot).As expected, the DOF at 2.8 is shallow, and I'll often drop it to f/4 to give myself more room to work with. F/4 is also sharper than f/2.8, however f/2.8 is still perfectly acceptable to use.If you only shoot sports, IS is not necessary. However, I shoot enough other events that IS is greatly needed and appreciated.I recommend this lens to any photographer who needs a long focal length in low-light environments.

I just received this about 2 hours ago and immediately tested it out, both on my twitch stream (in 1080p and 4k) as well as taking some stills of the flowers outside. And all I can say is WOW! I knew it would be a good lens based on the reviews I already saw, but I'm blown away at how good the image quality is. Granted, I went from the kit lens to this one, but for anybody looking to do the same thing I say go for it. You will notice an improvement in several aspects of the shooting sequence;1. The speed of AF. It focuses much faster than my kit lens2. The depth of field blur (bokeh) is very nice. With a f/2, the sensor is able to take in quite a bit more light than my kit lens' minimum of f/3.5, and this makes for a much better DOF.3. Low light performance. This ties in with the previous point. f/2 takes in plenty of light for indoors shooting without having to raise the ISO very much at all. If you've got yourself a still subject and a stand for the camera, crank down that shutter speed and enjoy crisp images.4. I mentioned I tested the lens out on my stream and I wanted to expand on how the quality is improved. My kit lens was rough when I tried streaming at 4k because it would take 10+ seconds to focus properly on my face. This lens cuts that down to maybe 3 or 4 seconds, though the AF does hunt quite a bit more. I think maybe this lens is more sensitive to changes in contrast. Either way, it's a marked improvement. In 1080p mode the AF is lightning fast and the image quality is crystal clear.All in all, I highly recommend this lens for anybody that needs a good streaming lens or stills lens. I'm going to take it out to do some video testing and might update my review with what I find there.*P.S. I love the pancake size too, it's so compact and easy to carry around.

This lens is a killer! My production level went from semi pro - pro. I love this lens! Supper affordable, supper light, multi use! The depth of field is really nice with its f/2 and I pretty much use this lens for anything I shoot!

A classic well built very sharp lens. The 1.4 is whole f-stop faster but is not any sharper and will set you back about 3 1/2 times as much.

These ND filters will allow you to film with the correct shutter speeds for the best cinematic look. Without the filters I could not film in 4k 30fps without both raising the shutter speed too high or setting the F-stop in to the range were sharpness falls off. On the Mavic 2 Pro you want to keep the aperture below F8 to maintain sharpness and ideally the shutter speed should be double the frame rate to stay within the "180 Degree shutter Rule."I filmed in bright daylight with ND16 mounted and was able to keep below F8 at the preferred shutter speed of 60 in 4K 30fps. The ND 8 should work well on more overcast days. I used the ND4 after sunset up until dark with similar great results. I have not had an opportunity to fly over water to assess the polarized lens.If one films in very bight conditions (desert, sand, snow) then the ND32 and ND64 set will be very useful add on to this primary set.The fit and finish on the set I received was excellent. They install in the same manner as the stock clear glass. The scalloped edges on the FStop Labs lens are a nice touch and help with getting a grip on these very small lens when installing or removing. The protective case is sturdy and they include a cleaning cloth which you will need.All-in-all these are a great value and will help you get the best out of your expensive Mavic 2 Pro.

I am using this 2X extender with my 135L, and I must say that after a little micro adjustment of +5, this is incredible! I now have a 270mm f/4 lens, and the images are very, very nice. Wide open (f/4), there is a little softness or dreamy effect, but stopped down to f/5.6, images are extremely sharp and contrasty. Yes, this will enhance any flaw in your lens, but with higher quality lenses, should not be much of an issue. AF is fast, I have not had any problems with its speed or accuracy. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this extender.

This is a great lens. I use it on full-frame film and digital SLRs, and love getting ultrawide shots. However, if you have the cash, you'll probably be happier with the 16-35/2.8 lens, as f4 can be pretty slow indoors.

I tried this Amazon brand coffee k cup,taste more bitter than any other brand dark roast(Gevalia,Peet,etc)for the price this k-cup is great value specially when you combine this with 5 items for S&S.This K-cup is compatible with 2.0 K-cup machine when using adapter for the k-cup
