Just got my new 70-200 f/2.8 IS. I haven't really had a chance to have a good play with it, but I have one snap that I thought was worthwhile sharing, C&C please.

70mm @ f/2.8 1/80s ISO400, no flash

I picked mine up a couple of weeks ago, what a lens. It really is incredible, definitely worth the money for the extra stop and IS. You do have to watch the DOF at 2.8, I've had one eye in and one out of focus at 200mm!

Thanks for the comments guys.

I only received the lens on Friday morning and had to fly back to Singapore on Saturday. As soon as the weather here clears up, I'll go out and take some more to post.
