Product Description

Product Description

The EF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM was introduced way back in August 2001, supplementing (but not replacing) the non-stabilized 70-200mm F2.8 L USM in Canon's highly regarded telephoto lineup. This is a lens which can truly be described as a professional workhorse, with robust build (including dust and moisture resistance), wide F2.8 maximum aperture, fast and silent ultrasonic autofocus motor, and optical image stabilization for hand-holding at slow shutter speeds. The optical design is somewhere on the far side of complex; it features 23 elements in 18 groups, with 4 UD elements to provide compensation for chromatic aberration. According to Canon, this gives a 'high-resolution, high-contrast optical capability', as demanded from a lens which needs to perform all day, every day in the hands of professional photographers across a wide range of subjects and conditions.

Incorporating Canon's second-generation Image Stabilization technology, this 70-200mm telephoto zoom responds in as little as 0.5 seconds while providing up to three stops of correction for camera shake. As a result, you can easily capture the far-off action of fast-paced sports or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. The lens's autofocus (AF) system, meanwhile, has been refined for better response time and tracking speed. And photographers will love the new eight-blade circular aperture, which offers a more pleasing out-of-focus image. Constructed to pro standards, the EF 70-200mm lens is highly dust- and moisture-resistant and carries a one-year warranty.

  • Focal length: 70-200mm

    Customers like the value of the camera lens. They mention it's worth every penny and pound, it retains its value well, and it'll be worth having in the bag. Some say that the lens is heavy, but it'd be worth the sore shoulder or aching forearm.

    Customers like the build quality of the lens. For example, they say it's top quality, solid, and professional grade. Customers are also impresseded with the image quality, saying it'll produce amazing photos.

    "...Yes, it's heavy. But i just consider that proof of its substantial build and quality. It's not a walkaround lens...." Read more

    "...You can feel the sturdiness when you hold it. I added the battery grip to better balance the camera and its a beautiful combination...." Read more

    "...Apart from architecture or landscape shots, it's a great, quality lens that makes you feel confident in your professional gear - if you don't..." Read more

    "...This lens NEVER fails. Focus is fast and spot on. It never hunts for focus no matter what the lighting...." Read more

    33 customers mention33 positive0 negative

    Customers find the autofocus of the lens to be fast and precise. They say it works well at all zoom lengths and is tack sharp. The lens has two focus range settings and two different IS modes.

    "...This is simply the best portrait lens available. It's fast - through the whole range from 70 to 200 mm it can operate at f/2.8...." Read more

    "...Now, onto performance. Wow. The 2.8 allows you to freeze action under most lighting conditions...." Read more

    "...It is quick and percise on my Canon 30D. This is no light lens either. You can feel the sturdiness when you hold it...." Read more

    "...In the words of a buddy of mine, the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is sharp and fast; just like the price...." Read more

    32 customers mention32 positive0 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the sharpness of the lens. They mention that it's incredibly sharp at one stop above 2.8, and has no discernible vignetting. The contrast, color, and sharpness are remarkable. Some say that not every shot is acceptably sharp, but the best shots approach the sharpiness of their EF 50mm. The lens is very silent, fast, and produces clear, sharp, and perfect pictures throughout the zoom range.

    "...It's incredibly sharp at one stop above 2.8, and no discernible vignetting fully open (I'm using it on a 1.6 FOV body)...." Read more

    "...And for the most part, always dead on and razor sharp. I haven't noticed any distortion yet...." Read more

    "...satisfying and seamless, while the contrast, color and sharpness of the image are remarkable...." Read more

    24 customers mention24 positive0 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the auto-focus of the lens. They mention that it does a superb job at focusing in low light, and the IS feature is essentially for low light photography. The lens is solid, and it has a sharp and fast focus. It's great in lower light situations, and even at slower shutter speeds. The depth-of-focus control is good, and its quiet operation makes it easy to focus. The f2.8 makes the viewfinder brighter, and AF functions much faster.

    "...bokeh (the blurriness behind the focused object) and operates in fairly low light conditions without a flash while still giving sharp images it will..." Read more

    "...I wouldn't have thought so.The focus is super quick and silent. And for the most part, always dead on and razor sharp...." Read more

    "...- for portraits, and with it's f/2.8 you get great, great shots without the flash; essential for party and dinner and intimate settings...." Read more

    "...Another huge plus is that this lens allows full time manual focus; you don't have to flip a switch to override the auto focus...." Read more

    23 customers mention23 positive0 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the color of the lens. They mention that the contrast and colors are gorgeous, and the images are stunningly crisp. The lens produces better contrast and better colors than cheaper lenses. The color saturation is so much more than they ever thought could happen. The night time pictures are out of this world, and are earth-stopping.

    "...Since it produces beautiful bokeh (the blurriness behind the focused object) and operates in fairly low light conditions without a flash while still..." Read more

    "...And it produces a really nice bokeh, so your subject is always the star...." Read more

    "...Contrast and colors are also gorgeous with this lens. I didnt know what I was missing until I purchased this lens...." Read more

    "...Bright, sharp, well saturated and luxurious (almost creamy) images, unrivaled by most other lenses...." Read more

    Customers are dissatisfied with the weight of the camera lens. They mention it's pretty heavy and bulky.

    "...One thing that is of concern, and will always be, is that this lens is heavy...." Read more

    "...It's bulky, and I only found one bag locally I could buy to carry this juggernaut in...." Read more

    "...But it does get heavy after a while. And it is a long,fixed length lens...." Read more

    Amazing!!!
    5 Stars
    Amazing!!!
    This is my first L lens and I'm hooked!!! I did a lot of research before purchasing this lens. I wasn't planning on spending $1,700 on a lens, but I am very glad that I did. I was looking at the other 70-200mm options that can has as well as some other brands. What finaly made me decide on this lens is I couldn't find a single complaint about it. All of the other lenses had good reviews, but none were perfect across the board. Many said that they settled for lesser lenses and then upgraded down the road.Pros:This is a remarkably crafted lens. It is built like a tank. The zoom is amazingly smooth and the focas is beyond fast. I have taken 100's to 1,000's of photos with it so far and have yet to have it wonder. It is quick and percise on my Canon 30D. This is no light lens either. You can feel the sturdiness when you hold it. I added the battery grip to better balance the camera and its a beautiful combination. The two stage image stabilization works wonderfully as well. My previous zoom was a Sigma 135-400mm and had a heck of a time hand holding it. There is no problem at all hand holding this lens. Even with the 1.4x extender it takes crisp sharp photos. I will have a hard time even thinking about buying another lens that doesnt have IS. Contrast and colors are also gorgeous with this lens. I didnt know what I was missing until I purchased this lens. Lastly, and by far least is the 2.8 constant aperture. If you can afford it buy this 2.8 lens. You will not be sorry. The effects of the blurred background is brilliant! You can really make your subject pop and opens up all kinds of opportunity for creativity. Personally I think a large percentage of photography is mental. If you have awesome equipment you will strive to take better photos. This lens will do that for you and more!Cons:Really there are none. My only word of warning is this, as it relates to higher end lenses and bodies as well. A great lens does not make a great photographer. There is also a smaller margin for error in higher end equipment. As I upgrade to better equipment I am finding how challenging it can be to be a "real" photographer. A zoom of this caliber and 2.8 aperture can be difficult to get good high quality shots until you have mastered shooting at 2.8. Especially if you are are fairly close to your subject. The days of point and shoot are gone. It's time to think like the pros. hehe... I have no doubt that with some practice persistance i will be able to produce much higher quality photos with this lens than with any other lens that I could have chosen.Conclusion:If you can afford this lens buy it! If you can't afford it but have a credit card, buy it! If you have to sell a couple other lenses to be able to buy it, buy it! I'm sure the other choices out there, weather they are non IS or are F4 are great lenses. This is a superb lens though. You will not be disappointed.
