All I can say is: WOW. :shock:

My brand new 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS arrived on Friday. This is without a doubt the sharpest piece of glass I have ever had the pleasure of owning.

The first quick snap:

Can't wait to really put it to the test! :cool:

I love how you can see your own reflection in the eye... that is nice

I did that to a frog, and saw my reflection too, and all i was using was an XT, and the 17-85
