G'day Don,
Oh drats, I meant to say camera shake, not shame. :)
I've got to say, the petal hood on the 70-200 2.8L just makes this lens so
big, and most people are not used to seeing these large lenses pointing at
them after a staple of handheld auto everything compacts.
Yesterday I was shooting in low-ish light situation all night; a private
dinner function in a large restautant with over a hundred people. At no
stage did the AF assist ever come on. I think this is as dim a situation as
it gets so I don't know what sort of people pictures Gerry Palo takes if the
light situation is dimmer than what I was shooting. I too think that if he
doesn't like the Elan 7e, then just fuggetaboutit. No point carrying on
with this enthusiast group - go straight to Canon coz their marketing
research people are the folks who could use this feedback.
Anyway, back to the camera, I've just purchased the Canon 20-25mm f/3.5-4.5
USM which was slightly dearer than the Tokina 17-35mm f/2.8-4 and will find
out today how the pics with the Canon lens turn out. Even though the Tokina
had higher specs and was better value, I've decided that the motor drive is
much noisier than the USM on the Canon. So that got the voting dollars of
this punter. :)

Well, a lot of us have problems with the latter issue, and it makes us
keep buying ever more expensive equipment!
