Hey Allan, are you cropping these images in post production, or are they straight from camera? Also, are you using a crop sensor or full frame body? Thank you!
I know this was posted some time ago but I am getting ready to pull the trigger on buying this lens (I believe this is the original "Mark I"). I will pair it with an R6 and 7D Mark II. Is it still worth paying 3000-4000 USD for this lens?
Yes. This is the Mark I. If it’s in great condition I believe it still would be worth paying around 3000-3500 USD. However a lens this old may be difficult to acquire in even decent condition. Furthermore the tech inside is from the late 90’s. I would wait, save up, pay some more and get the Mark II. 😊
@@allanstorkborg4075 , Ok, I will take my time and perhaps get the Mark II instead. Your images were so sharp though and the sensor in the R6 is so good I thought maybe version I would suffice.
@@michaelatherton6055 The optics is still insanely sharp, but the AF speed may be lacking compared with the Mark II. If AF speed is not a factor, you might still be pleased with the Mark I.
Jeg aner ikke hvad du mener? Jeg var ikke så god til lige netop det sprog du skriver til mig på. Måske du kun kan forstå det sprog du selv skriver på og ikke et mere internationalt sprog som f. eks. engelsk.
@@KandiKloverYes I agree. They think their really hip wondering around. I simply cannot shoot images unless there is an underlying story that drives those pictures.
Hey 👋 my name is abel and I’m a 17 years old photography enthusiast based in Antwerp Belgium 🇧🇪. I want to buy a new camera and i have an interest on this. And im just wondering if it’s still usable in 2019. I mainly shoot portrait and landscape. Thank you :)
The 1D IV is a pretty good sports camera today, but the 7D II is probably a little better for less money and weight. For portrait and landscape, both those cameras are fine, but you'd be better of with a 6D I or II, or a 5D II III or IV. I have a 5D IV and 7DII as this gives me the best of both worlds and having two cameras can be very handy. I owned a 1D IV in the past and it was great, but those cameras are getting older (10 years) and repair support is fading. Still cool though.
Yeh but try shooting a night game under the lights were you have to crank up the ISO while maintaining the high shutter speed. I shoot high school American football games at night. This is just too easy with plenty of outdoor light.
High school stadiums tend to have poor lighting vs pro stadiums. The light level is lower, inconstant across the field, and there is pronounced color flicker. Even the best DSLR don't do so well with it.
Mark I is about 4lbs heavier, and it's Image Stabilizer is a little less effective. Image quality is near identical. Buy the best one you can afford, taking into account repairs can be costly on either.
Thank you much. Do you have any other tips for shooting soccer? Which focusing mode you like? I'm not an expert on the sport by any means but I shot some MLS this season and I had some focus issues. I've got the 1DX mark 1.
The 400mm f/5.6L is all of these things, and a premier choice for wildlife and nature photographers get this with a discounts now! twitter.com/VoveIM/status/892335896623669249
A recording of how a bad photographer would cover a match. You have the backs if players, shots with faces covered and shots with no ball. My editor would laugh you out if the office.
Obviously, but if you are making a video showing how a pro covers a game then this isn't it. I know he doesn't say pro but you don't just walk into games and have a 300mm 2.8 prime if you're doing it as a hobby. Also a 1D is pro level gear. First of all let me say that I wouldn't class myself a pro but I have worked for 7 years for the local press, covered games for the Essex FA (UK), covered playoff games at Wembley Stadium, celebrity v pro charity games, England ladies matches and had a picture in Getty Images gallery in their "life between the sticks" goalkeeper exhibition (runner up) as well as covering freestyle motocross and worked for London councils at the youth games as well as air shows for aviation magazines so I do know what I am talking about. A pro wouldn't bother with general header pics in the middle of the pitch as they simply wouldn't get used unless you are at the game specifically to cover a particular player (very rare occurrence). Goals or major incidents sell. Also he could have shown us any of the pictures he captured on the day, why show us bad ones? Very strange. I could go into more details how this isn't how a pro would cover the game but I'll just say this isn't the way any pro I know would cover a game. Even covering the major events in a game pictures run into 700 or 800 you wouldn't even give headers and tackles in the middle of the pitch card space in my experience. Also, if you're not wiring the pictures in live (no evidence of this in the video) and are going through them at home or in the office you wouldn't take hundreds of shots more than you needed to its just pointless, more to download, more to go through, more to store etc. To me this is a video of someone who loves what he does, is excited and proud and wants to show off a little and there is nothing wrong with that but it's not the way a typical pro would work.
well this video was pretty fckn awesome ... I'm considering upgrading to the 1Dmkiv for this very reason. One question tho, aren't you sitting the side where substitutes warm up ... you'd have players running across your lens every 5mins in the second half, no? ... keep up the good work tho!
I currently use a 70D on a 300mm f2.8 and you can get a great range from the opposite end of the pitch, even a pitch like Wembley. I want to get a 1Div just because it has a stronger ISO and will allow me to get better photos from night games (or at least, that's the theory!)!!
So many samples. Exactly what I want in a camera video.

Hey Allan, are you cropping these images in post production, or are they straight from camera? Also, are you using a crop sensor or full frame body? Thank you!
I crop some times. The camera used was an 1D Mark IV which was a 1.3 crop sensor.
Fantastic video!
@Allan what is the best position(angle) to be when doing sport photography?
8 years later and I am watching this🔥🔥 How i wish @Allan would just donate that lens to me 😊😊

what settings did you use? pls answer if you are still alive - thx
Hi. I don’t exactly remember, but I know for certain that the aperture was 2.8. 😊
@@allanstorkborg4075 i did not expect that. shutter time? iso? guess pls!
@@Bigjuergo Shuttertime was probably around 1/2000-2500. ISO was most likely 400 or 640
Great camera
can you do that with I-Phone 11...? xixixixiixixix....
Time is our friend. Just got this body for $600 with 60K shots only. No need to jump on most expensive and newest bandwagon.
I just got one too, 300 UK pounds. Great camera.

1000x better than the videos of people just talking about the lens.
or doing stupid "street photography" hipster crap. Yeah you really need a 1dx camera body for that one.
Agree!! I hate those bla bla bla videos

For portraits and landscapes the 5D iii would probably suit you a lot better, if you have a bigger budget the original 1D X is also super good.
Grand son, i use canon 1d mark ii n with Canon EF 600 mm f 4/0 L, very happy!!!
@@TexMex421 for portraits i use Pentax 645 D it is belissimo!!

Great video , just what i wanted as i am a football fan also!
Bang bang, he shot me down!
is this using auto fokus?
fahryy films yes. Always.
What’s the difference 400!f2.8 l is vs mark ii which should I buy thanks
Mark I is about 4lbs heavier, and it's Image Stabilizer is a little less effective. Image quality is near identical. Buy the best one you can afford, taking into account repairs can be costly on either.
Hi Allan, do you bu the chance shoot ice hockey?
Andrey Elagin Sorry. No. Just football
wish there was more vids like these .
Totally agreed
In my channel I have a few that I recorded in two matches before the pandemic
What settings do you use? Shutter priority I guess but how do you choose it? And do you let ISO on automatic or set a defined value?
Neonto I use aperture priority. That way I always know I get the most shallow depth of field. I set ISO manually.
Allan Storkborg wow that was fast thank you very much.
Hi, please can you tell me how to best setting AF for my 1dmk3 ? I like to do sports photo , i have 1dmk3 and 400 2,8 Is .Thanks so much.
me too good lens and body.
When you're pro shooting soccer what shutter speed do you typically like to shoot at?
The Professional All between 1/640 and 1/2000

How do you get paid for this?
how do you give them photos
i really want that lense and camera
Great lens !

Spencer Jarvis I think he is just taking a bunch of them and showing us the full catalog, he probably sent very specific ones to his clients.

Hi Allan, please share more videos like this one. It's kind of a motivation and satisfying for a beginner like me
Those were some good shots.
very sharp lens .. thank you for sharing

The subs were running in the opposite end from where I was sitting 😉
thanks for sharing. please recommend if i use it on 70d, it would be too tight i guess? would it be 300 L a better choice?

All of my images are somewhat cropped, so I don't think it would too tight on a 70D.
