Hi my name is Steven from London, Canada I would like to review the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM Lens. But first the problem to be solved. My Wife is an avid runner, she participates in many running events and I found wanting to find a better lens for photographing sports. This lens is […]

Ages ago, listener Tammy sent me an interesting question – she asked me what my top 5 favorite apps were. I asked her Mac or iOS and she said both. I complained that the question was too hard but that maybe I could answer with 5 in each category. The more I thought about it, […]
