Tack Sharp Lens
on January 15, 2011
Posted by: Ron in AZ

I traded a 200mm F/2.8 L lens (and a few $$ additional) for this lens. I thought the 200 F/2.8 was sharp, but this lens is even sharper and at all focal lengths. It balances well on my D-7 camera body. The IS works great. I have been able to take available light shots at 1/80 at F/4 at ISO 6400 and get exceptionally sharp images. Unless you really need the extra stop choose the 70-200 F/4 L over the 70-200 F/2.8 L and save some money and drop some weight.
Pros: exceptionally sharp, well balanced, solid feeling lens, quick focusing, wonderful color remdition
Cons: expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

This lens is Fantastic,has a fast autofocus because of the f2.8, i had the 70-200mm f4, which was super fast but this one performs much better.
The built quality is fantastic, i would recommend this lens to all canon eos users who want to put Telefoto on their bags, wow!

A superb lens

I've used this lens since 2000, when I upgraded from FD to EOS and digital. Despite numerous other Canon lens purchases, this is still hands down the sharpest lens in my kit. As I photographed for 30 years without IS, I knew how to get sharp images without its help. 16 years later, I do not regret its absence. I shoot lots of sports, most of it in poorly lit stadiums and gyms. The autofocus is fast and decisive, even under poor lighting conditions. Of course, a lot of the credit for this goes to the camera. This lens gets my highest recommendation.

My New Favorite Lens
on January 9, 2010
Posted by: Peej Studio
When I bought this lens, it had only been snowy, gray days. So, I was waiting for a really good chance to test it out. Well, I was shoveling a path to my car, and out of nowhere a hawk swooped out of the sky and grabbed another flying bird right in front of my face. I ran inside and grabbed my 7D with this lens.
Result...amazingly crisp pictures. The autofocus was spot on and almost instantaneous! It was snowing and freezing cold...so, of course, I love the weather sealing.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images

Overall a great lens

This is the second of this lens I've owned. Personally I find while the IS version may be sharper in places, the non-IS is sharper overall throughout the zoom range. I sold my original to upgrade to the IS and wasn't pleased with sharpness, so sold it and purchased another non-IS and am much more happy with it. Typical L build quality, solid feel, fast and quiet AF and quite durable. My only complaint is the design of the lens hood attachment, a problem I have with most of my L glass - after a while they get loose and won't stay put, but I know I'm tougher on equipment than the average or casual shooter.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, sharp images
Cons: lens hood design

A Real Gem

This is 1 0f 4 L seriies lenses that I own, with more to follow. I love the versatality of this lense, and recomend using a tripod when you can. Great colors, super fast focus, and quiet. I had a Tamron, 70-200 2.8, much less money, but I can see why. The focus on this lens is second to none, Very sharp, and is so fast. Great all around lens. If you can only afforde 1 lens, invest in this one, you won't regret it.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images, vivid colors
Cons: weight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Extremely sharp lens!

Great lens. My monopod has three legs that open up for stability. The combination of the lens and monopod allows me the versatility required for close in wildlife shooting. It is a great substitute when wildlife is to close for my prime to frame.
