Test EF 70-200 F2.8 L

My friend let me test his lens EF-70-200 F2.8 L last Saturday. It's very excellent lens, good optical, good build quality, great color tone, etc but it is pretty heavy, 1.3 kg for lens only. I wish I could have the professional lens like this : )

I also had a chance to test this lens by shooting portrait. I pushed ISO to 1600 but I still had shutter speed around 1/40 - 1/60 sec. Therefore, some photos may not sharp due to not enough shutter speed for handheld.

I recommend that if you are interested in the zoom lens, please consider Image Stabilizer (IS) / Vibration Reduction (VR) lens or something that equivalent. It can help you for taking photos in low light environment.

Cheers,
