  • Excellent Canon zoom. Lightweight and super sharp
Style: Lens Only
I researched the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L and Canon 70-200 f/4 L IS and came to the following conclusion: WEIGHT: Hands down, the f/4 was much lighter and smaller in diameter than the f/2.8. It is about the same weight as my previous main zoom, the 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM. Yes, I gave up some length going with a 200, but I also purchased the Canon 1.4X teleconverter. PERFORMANCE: I researched the optical quality in various reviews on websites and if you see Fred Miranda's site you will see the f/2.8 zoom just barely out performs the f/4 with IS. I can confirm, this lens is very sharp. Almost as sharp as my Canon 60mm f/2.8 Macro at all lengths. The IS performance is very good, I found it very usable and I leave it on most of the time. I also keep a Marumi Circular Polarizer on most of the time because of the bright Texas sun and it performs great. PRICE: Obviously, this is where the big difference in the f/2.8 and f/4 come into play. At almost 1/2 the price of the f/2.8 the f/4 does a great job of delivering on optical performance. Sure, the bokeh of the 2.8 and low light capabilities are a bonus, but if you are not shooting weddings or are indoor in low light conditions, I would say there is no need to spend the extra $1000 for the extra stop. CONCLUSION: You cannot go wrong purchasing this lens. It is an excellent performance, one of Canon's best lenses. While I would like to have the f/2.8, I used the $1000 savings and sold my aforementioned 70-300 and spent $1300 on the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC (IS) USD which is now on my camera most of the time and not only gives me f/2.8 for indoor shots, but also image stabilization with Canon does not have in a mid-range zoom. See my review of this excellent Tamron lens on this site. Because I gave up my 70-300, I still wanted that reach so I picked up the Canon 1.4X teleconverter. I was concerned that I would lose some sharpness, but I was suprised that when I look at my shots, I cannot tell without pixel peeping or looking at EXIC, whether I have on my teleconvrter, it's optical performance is just that good. Since I use this lense outside most of the time, I can afford to lose the stop using the teleconverter, and I keep a Marumi circular polarizer on all the time and I still get great, clear shots with the built-in IS. GREAT LENS, I HAVE NO REGRETS PURCHASING IT AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WITH A GOOD QUALITY DSLR. Here is my setup in case you were wondering what else I use: Canon EOS 7D Canon 60mm f/2.8 Macro Sigma 30mm f/1.4 Tokina 11-16mm DX Pro f/2.8 Tamron 24-70 DI VC USD Tamron 180mm f/3.5 macro Canon 580 EX Speedlite ... show more

  • Kickin' optic: sharp, flare resistant, fast AF & tough!
Style: Lens Only
The 70 to 200mm range is ideal for portraits, landscape and outdoor sports. Here's what I thought of my new EF 70-200 4L IS USM. CONSTRUCTION: The hybrid metal (barrel) and polycarbonate (trim) construction and seals on switches and mount make it tough, but reasonably light. Build quality is better than the EF 24-105 4L IS USM and similar to the EF 300 4L USM. The off-white finish is elegant and stays cool even in blazing sun. This zoom is a classic two-touch design: focus ring near the end of the barrel and zoom ring near the mount. Both zoom and focus mechanisms are internal, making it less prone to sucking in dust than front extension designs. Also, internal zoom mechanisms do not loosen and drift as the lens ages. The large twist action zoom ring is smooth and fast. The manual focus ring is large, ribbed, rubberized and nearly as smooth turning as the manual lenses of yesteryear. The focusing ring is on the barrel. Once you get used to the design, handling is nimble and decisive. AUTO FOCUS: Ring-type USM (Ultrasonic Motor) drives a lens group between the front element and diaphragm. The combination of internal focus and ring-type USM yield very fast AF. The front element does not rotate nor does the barrel expand or contract during focus or zoom operations. AF worked flawlessly on my EOS 7D and 6D bodies. That is, AF is fast, accurate and decisive. The motor of the EF70-200 4L IS USM is silent during AF, but in a quiet room I hear a pianissimo "rolling" sound as the elements move along the gear train. It has FTM, allowing you to manually focus without switching out of AF mode. If you prefocus manually, the distance window in meters and feet is extremely useful. It also sports an AF limiter. However, AF is so accurate I found little use for the limiter. IMAGE STABILIZATION: This would be a great lens without Image Stabilization (IS). However, IS propels it straight into hog heaven. Wee gyro sensors coupled to a CPU detect the degree and direction of camera shake and counteract vibration by moving a compensating optical group. Subsequently, I can get get a sharp picture three to four stops below my normal hand held shutter speed (e.g. 1/15 sec instead of 1/200). If I brace myself or shoot a volley of shots I can get away with another stop or two! Like most modern Canon zooms, this model includes both standard and panning IS modes. IS sound levels are pianissimo so I can only hear it in a quiet room--never in street or field--but it grinds and clicks more than both my EF 24-105 4L IS USM and EF-s 17-55 2.8 IS USM. The only louder IS unit I've heard was in the EF 75-300 4.0-5.6 IS USM. IMAGE QUALITY: Paired with my EOS 6D, the EF70-200 4L IS USM proved to be an extremely sharp, contrasty and flare-free zoom, a notch above my EF 70-200 4L USM in terms of sharpness and flare control. Images were sharp edge to edge, even at F4. An advantage of this lens over consumer zooms is it exhibits little image degradation at large apertures or the long end. In other words, it's sharp wide open and across the zoom range. The contrast and snap of this optic is apparent even through the viewfinder. After all, there's exotic glass in there: 1 Fluorite and 2 UD elements. Image magnification is a little less than my EF 200 2.8L USM, so I suspect this zoom is shy of 200mm. There is little distortion and flare control is the best of any zoom I have owned. Canon has improved its Super Spectra coatings and interior flocking as suppression of flare and ghosting in blazing sunsets is extremely effective. This zoom has 4 more elements than the older EF 70-200 4L USM, so reduced flare is an impressive feat. EXTENDER: Most L series telephotos and telezooms are designed to use L series Extenders. The rear of these lenses have a space for the protruding element of the Extender. The EF 70-200 4L IS USM has 20 elements, so I'm not excited about adding more elements with an Extender. Nevertheless, the Canon Extender 1.4x yields a reasonably well performing 98-280 F5.6 zoom and bests the EF 75-300 4.0-5.6 IS USM I previously owned. TRIPOD RING: The Tripod Mount Ring A II W (white) is an optional accessory and desirable for ease of flipping between vertical and horizontal without touching the head. This collar is interchangeable between the EF70-200 4L USM, EF80-200 2.8L, EF200 2.8L USM, EF300 4L USM and EF400 5.6L USM. FINAL BLURB: If you need a telezoom with IS and weather seals, this one is among the best, and even edges out my old EF 70-200 4L USM in terms of flare control and sharpness. For discriminating hikers, travelers and amateurs this zoom deliverers quality without breaking their shoulder albeit at a fairly beefy price point. ... show more

  • Great lens, worth the premium maybe..
Style: Lens Only
I bought this lens as a replacement for the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS because I wanted something better built that did not extend and focused faster. That was what I told myself, I really wanted to buy it because it was an L lens! It did all the things mentioned but after comparing the pictures I took side by side, I decided it was not worth the premium. It did not help that my copy had some IS issues. The pictures were great, focus in low light was a tad better than the 70-300 and it locked on smaller objects faster than the 70-300 in good light. If the non, extending barrel, non-rotating front, marginally faster focus and better build are worth the extra money to you this is an awesome lens. For me it is my least used lens so the premium was not worth it especially since the image quality was marginally better. I give it 4 stars for image quality and ding it one star for price/value. ... show more
