    I use a 70-200 all the time. Sure is a nice lens. You used it to perfection here.

    Yep, DOF is pretty good. I often get it wrong and have the wings in focus and the head out which doesn't work too well. But saying that I usually use my 1:1 Macro lens that has tiny DOF. Seems to be a good idea to go to my 70-300mm which has excellent optics. Never really thought of that.
