Tired of always answering the same question in every forum I go to, I have decided to make a blog post about it…
So you want to get a 70-200 lens but dont know which one to buy? Should it be the 70-200Lf4, the 70-200Lf4 IS, the 70-200f2.8L or the 70-200f2.8L IS ?…

Unless you are very lucky, you have probably noticed that not all your lenses focus perfectly every time. Some might focus a little bit in front of the subject, others a bit behind it.

While I demonstrated in a previous post the advantage of IS lenses compared to non-IS lenses, the new aperture control is going to make these babies even shinier. How comes? As you know, the further an object is from the camera, the more it is subject to camera shake since the total travelled distance on the sensor of a far object is bigger than the one of a close by object given the same ‘shake angle’.…
