Depends on the style you're looking for, I suppose, and it obviously wouldn't work with the above photo, but generally it's pretty sound. That and get the ball and faces in shot ;) A pro sports photographer once told me to “shoot tight, crop tighter” when it came to sports photos.

Incredible to have 2.8 all the way through the zoom range. Astonishing details in my shots with this lens too, at any aperture. Very pricey, but very good. Does yours have the IS option too, very useful for some shots. I have the Nikon equivalent to this one – a seriously good lens indeed.

I love mine, and have got some great pictures from it (http://j.mp/ak9Zxl is at Exeter Chiefs last year, mostly with the 70-200). It’s a great lens.
