I purchased this lens after many hours of careful research. Cannon 70 200 ef lens lives up to it's reputation. While not as fast as 2.8, not weather sealed as newer L lenses, I have yet to find fault with this canon ef 70-200mm lens in shooting architecture, construction or flowers, or even my cats. I am sure there is some CA here, a little vignetting there, but I have not seen it in four months. In that time I pretty much used this lens as my primary, leaving the 24-70L in the bag. But am now using each equally. If you can afford the 2.8 go for it, but I am not at all sorry I chose this older model! As is said, good equipment doesn't make a good photog, but if you know the craft this lens gives you that boost any top quality piece of equipment will! Btw - I'm shooting the 70-200 f4L on a 40D and a 30D.
- William D..This is a fantastic Lens! I just recieved my canon 70 200mm usm this morning and I have been photographing everything I can with it! The clarity of each photo is great! I am definately happy with the purchase I have made! Great for portrait and sports photography!
- KS..Capture the far-off action of fast-paced sports or zoom in for an intimate portrait with the Canon EF 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens. This high-performance, L-series telephoto zoom lens is distinguished by such features as an f/4 maximum aperture, an inner focusing system, and a ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM). The last two features combine to deliver quick and quiet autofocusing--a priority for many amateur and professional photographers. In addition, photographers can attach and use a circular polarizing filter without difficulty because the front lens element does not rotate during focusing. Compatible with the same tripod collar (sold separately) used with the EF 300mm f/4L USM lens, the lens carries a one-year warranty.
