I use the 70-200 2.8L, and use my newspapers 17-35 2.8L 300 2.8L and 400
2.8L. I am wondering how you use the lens. Do you use it more for shooting
outside? I know that I probably can't use the 35-350 for indoor sports, as
we currently shoot them at 2.8 and push our iso800 film 2 stops.
Have you have any problems with zoom creep on the lens?
Thanks for your help
Andy
