Down, but not out - photography has indeed taken a back seat as I've moved on to writing and editing content professionally, but I still enjoy shooting when possible.

Canon today officially announced its new 200-400mm f/4L IS 1.4x extender lens. No, that's not two products mistakenly smashed into one name -- the lens
