Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Sure. 8)

The mini-review is that the 100-300 f/4 EX is simply a larger version of the venerable Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 EX. :lol:

That's really the only difference that I've noticed, other than the fact that it's more difficult to hand hold at 300mm than it is at 200mm. :shock: :)

IMO, the 100-300 f/4 would be a better lens for a lot of folks, specifically those that are constantly shooting at 200mm and don't need/want the shallow DOF at closer distances that you can get with the 1 stop difference afforded by the 70-200.

It's a very nice lens, IMO. I've got some shots from yesterday that need processing and will post them along with some of my other 100-300 shots for you, over the next few days.

Why aren't you lusting after the Bigma or the 80-400? They aren't that much more expensive than the 100-300, IIRC.

Chris, here's a couple of pics to give you an idea as to the relative sizes of some of these lenses.
