My Telephoto Arrives!

Relates to Photography

The latest addition to my photography arsenal has arrived in the form of a Canon 200mm f/2.8 L prime telephoto lens. Once again I chose to go for a prime lens simply for the lighter weight at a higher image quality and this L-lens seemed the perfect choice. I would love to get straight outside and have a play but it is dark dank day and I have far more pressing work matters to prioritise.

So for now I had to resort to quickly snapping the baluster of the back stairs through the backdoor window!

Test shot with the Canon 200mm f/2.8 200mm - 1/250s @ f/2.8 ISO 100

With the lack of light I planted the camera on my Giottos tripod to avoid any shake shooting below 1/320s (based on the cropped sensor focal length). Focussing was incredibly fast relative to my other lenses.

Hardly the best conditions for a test drive, but even this showed sharpness, clarity and super creamy bokeh! Look forward to doing a proper test drive soon…
