I received an EF 200mm f/2.8 L USM as a hand-me-down from an uncle not too long ago, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. He says he doesn't care if I sell it, and I might just do that to get a lens that I'll find more useful.
I have a 7D, so it's pretty damn long for a portrait lens (I also don't shoot portraits very often). The close-focusing/macro ability is not very good, either. For wildlife, I find 200mm too short, even on a crop sensor. I just get a lot more utility out of zooms, in general. I don't ever shoot indoor sports, although that's what the previous owner bought it for (he couldn't find a use for the lens after his kids grew up, though). I don't think I could get over $400 for the lens, though, so selling it seems kind of like a waste.
Basically trying to ask, if you had this lens, what kinds of photos would you take with it?
