Default 70-200mm VR - What do you normally use it for?

Hi Guys,

I will like to hear from you...as I find that it looks very intrusive to use it for street or portrait.

P.S - Besides low light and for fast shutter...leave the technical aspect out.

Many Thanks

This is the exact question I asked before with no answer. Is this an indoor events lens only?

haha.. i dug out my old thread (http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=330460) and there were many responses actually... my conclusion was that even though this lens is lust worthy, think carefully before u get it or it will become a white elephant.

Is that why some people get the white/grey version of the lens?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I bought it at CP. The price has significantly fallen.

I use it to take shots of people at events without them noticing it, especially at my school functions. I can just station myself at a spot and shoot without any fuss. Now I can shooy it with the SB900... got 200mm reach!!!
