If you know you know...these are highly revered and often photographers' go-to lenses.  But how do they stack up for wildlife, landscape, travel, and general nature photography?

Well, I just returned from a Borneo Photo Expedition and found that I had this on my camera about 80% of the time.  Yep, they're that good.

In this episode I go over all the reasons why these are exceptional lenses for nature photography, but also acknowledge some of their downsides.
