    i think it would be better if your lens didn't have that "back and forth" thing.

    This match was an entertaining match.

    The guy wearing the Indonesian shirt is obviously not from Indonesia. He's only 15 years old.

    The opponent is 18 years old (I think).

    Again uncropped

    No way, you only have to look at their faces!

    For the off topic question, these photos were from our middle level tournament, and they were very fast.

    These two next pics.

    First one is from my lens - some cropping
    2nd is from Red's lens - no cropping.

    Even with using Red's lens, my pictures have less detail. There are many factors: it could our cameras, or the software for processing. I'm only a beginner ;) :p

    What do you mean? IS there a problem with it? Should it be returned?

    no no no... i guess that's ok coz u'd changed the af mode to ai servo. my lenses also got that "back n forth" thing with ai servo mode in low light situation.
    should be alright!
