SUPERB LENS
on February 14, 2009
Posted by: Digital Seeker
from West Coast
Canon's L lenses are superb. I have owned such lenses for well over 20 years. The newest line of lenses, their EF L IS series, in my experience, surpasses even their fine L lenses in the FD (manual focus) series. Canon seems to improve their lenses with each new series. My FD lenses, some of which are 30 years old, have never required any service, and continue to deliver excellent results. My newest acquisition, the 70-200 f/4 L IS, is one of the sharpest lenses I've ever owned.
Pros: Super-sharp images, Superior build quality, Fast auto-focus
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Made the right choice!

Debated long and hard on this vs the 2.8 non-IS since they are very close in price. I opted for the f4 because I didn't want to lug around a monopod and the f4 is proven sharper. The 4 extra stops of shutter speed is real and more than makes up for the slower glass. Hands down winner!
Pros: Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: expensive

Nice lens

Doesn't feel at all heavy, I thought this might be a problem. I debated over the 70-200 4L IS model and this one, decided on the 2.8 L. My wife didn't understand why I wanted to spend so much money on a lens, after she has seen the pictures it takes ..... well she didn't talk about that anymore. :)
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: wish i bought it earlier

Did I need this? Would it actually improve the quality of my life? Can I justify dropping this kind of money for metal and glass? Hell yes. Yes, yes, and yes.

Incredibly high-level performance and accuracy
on August 2, 2018
Posted by: Overfocused
from Chicago
Focus accuracy and performance with this lens is FAST and ACCURATE. I use this in low-light events regularly, and it blows me away how much quicker it locks on than all of my other F2.8 lenses. This lens line is a sportster's dream (F2.8 obviously is better though.) It's quite lightweight since it is F4 and not F2.8 as well, so it's a good mix of portability alongside having incredible image quality and focus performance. Owned for 9 years and going strong! Never needed a servicing either.

I am thrilled

This is my first entry into the L lens world and I will never go back. The sharpness is great and I love the attractive out of focus background available with the fixed f4 aperature, I have a Rebel XT and will look hard at other L lenses to replace current ones. I agree with another reviewer who said "you only cry once - when you get the bill". The cost was high, but I felt worth it given the exceptional performance. I have highly recommended this lens to my photographer friends.
Pros: Super-sharp images, Superior build quality, Fast auto-focus
Cons: pricey

Excellent Lens
on February 9, 2011

from Brandon FL
I purchased this lens for a European River Cruise over Christmas and New Year's. The results were outstanding. I am not a pro, but the night shots and the 200mm shots of castles along the Rhine were fantastic. Another photo-enthusiast was particularly impressed with the telephoto night shots. Great lens for the money and very lightweight.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
