The Martin Bailey Photography Podcast

On March 19th, 2010, Canon released the updated version of their famed workhorse, the EF 70-200mm F2.8L IS II USM lens. I have spent the last three days taking mine through its paces, and today I'm going to share my findings. Details: https://mbp.ac/235 Music from Music Alley: http://www.musicalley.com/
