Re: Racking up the tackles

Good set Paul, you certainly know how to make that 400 f2.8 sing.

Re: Racking up the tackles

Awesome set with #4 just pipping the post for me. As for #3. . . . think that may be classed as a high tackle, should be an instant off in any case

Good set Paul, you certainly know how to make that 400 f2.8 sing.

Thanks Les

My favorite working lens not the easiest beast to carry around but gets the job done, though a 70-200 would come in very handy for those try or goal celebrations. can see the 24-105 and 200 prime getting traded in soon!
