Haven't found them yet, but they look like this. I also ran into Canon versions when looking for a pic.

You made me look for my Nikon lens shot glasses. Couldn’t find them...yet! 🤣

Look at those eyes! I showed your Frankie to my Frank, and he just asked if I had any treats. That's my Frank!

Nice pic. One of my favorite bands because of writing like this!

The schools and most small colleges don't have the resources to manage grass fields. I lost my last dirt field from my usual stadiums in 2017. Luckily I was there for the final mud-bowl. I miss it! Lumen Field in Seattle will have to pull their turf and put in grass for the world cup.

The turf is plastic grass with rubber fill. It gets hot when the sun shines on it and worse if there is no wind to sweep it away. You have to limit how far across the field you can shoot. You end up with missed focus and inconsistent sharpness. The worst I've seen...Lumen field. Large bowl..no wind
1st time this year, half my pics are dumpster quality. It was a 1pm game in bright sun at 72 degrees. The turf got too hot for the 420mm setup. The 100-280 range did okay.

1st shot is full frame...should be tack sharp.
2nd and 3rd - close-up of feet, 4th weird patterns in turf

Thanks! I bring my infrared camera when I cover sports... if it's sunny out, or I want to experiment. This day I had no assignment or connection to any schools. The turf was getting too hot, making most "normal" pics unusable. So I went with "how will IR do?"
