a month ago I jumped the gun on this lens, as I wanted a long telephoto for isolating subjects and playing with OOF for nature shots. with Dutch winter being particularily unsuitable (and pretty uncooperative this year as well) it took me a while to get to properly try it out. but, yep, first real try is there and I'm loving it...

...Canon never updated it with IS requiring anyone that wanted 200mm f/2.8 and IS to use a much larger, heavier, more expensive, and slower focusing 70-200 / 2.8 IS zoom. I certainly don't expect Canon to make an RF version of the 200 / 2.8L, with or without IS, anytime soon, or ever, even.

In any case, many of my favorite photos were taken with this lens.
