Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description:
One of the finest telephoto zoom lenses in Canon’s EF line, this 70-200mm f/2.8 lens offers comparable optics to a single focal-length lens. The lens employs four UD-glass elements to minimize chromatic aberrations, creating sharp, high-quality images regardless of the application. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, meanwhile, makes the lens extremely popular among professionals. Other features include an inner focusing system with an Ultra Sonic Motor (USM), a 4.9-foot close focusing distance, and a 77mm filter size. The lens–which is compatible with EF 1.4x II and 2x II extenders–carries a one-year warranty.

Technical details here are wrong by Sierra Chuck
This lens weighs far more than the f/4 version. It really weighs 2.9 lbs, or 1310 grams. Close to twice what is listed in the specs here. Kind of an important detail for Amazon to get wrong considering there are four 70-200mm Canon lenses and that would be one of the more important points of comparison.

It’s as good as they say by B. A. Etter
This is my first L lens from Canon. I also upgraded cameras to the 40D. What a perfect match. Great lens for indoor and outdoor sports. Tri-pod mount on the lens provides the perfect balance for lens and camera.

Takes great photos in gyms for sports and stages for school performances. I elected to save money and not buy the IS version as I almost always use a monopod or tripod. This was a good decision as I have yet to see a bad picture due to camera shake.

Canon’s Amazing Zoom by Palmer
At first i was really unsure if i should get the F4 version of this lens, or the 2.8. I finally decided to get the 2.8, and i’m VERY glad i did. I only have one complaint with this lens and that is that it gets kind of heavy after a while, which you soon get used to. I would suggest this lens to anyone looking for a pro grade zoom. Always fast, always sharp.

A must have. by George W. Mason
I researched for a while as I have limited resources and can’t buy every lens I would like. This lens is very nice.
