Here is an interesting innovation announced by Canon today with this f/4 L series telephoto lens, the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM.

I just had an official communication from Canon stating that the mass production of the new Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8L II USM had not started yet and the deliveries of the lens are then delayed.

Sometimes…. you know I did not really appreciate the new EF 24-70mm f/2,8 II USM lens Canon announced this week because, albeit probably offering superb image quality, it has no image stabilisation system. So this standard L lens is deprived of IS… when Canon launches two interesting fast wide-angle prime lenses, with IS ! Look at these [...]
