Simply amazing!
on August 31, 2014
Posted by: Amateur shooter
I purchased this lens over a year ago and have loved it ever since. The image quality this lens produces on a regular basis is awesome! I use the lens to capture images at little league sporting events and almost always hand held. This lens is always on my camera, and I never leave home without it. I've even used it at a 6th grade choir concert with low light and no flash with really good results. I cannot say enough good things about my lens! I even use this lens for portraits over my fast primes because I simply love the color and bokeh I get from this lens. The image stabilization system on the 70-200L IS II is awesome. I think Canon claims the IS on it gives a 3-4 F-stop advantage, in practical terms, it's the difference between getting an awesome shot or getting a bad one with a lot of blur. I'm also very impressed with the speed of the focus motor, it instantly locks on the target and delivers excellent results. I guess if you want to look at some drawbacks to this lens, I could list a few. The first one is obviously the price, it's a bit higher than most other options. I justified this purchase in my mind with the fact that it rivals most primes at any focal length in it's zoom range and a lot cheaper than buying them all! The next one would be the size/weight issue. I've just accepted it and realized that no other zoom will give me the razor sharp images I get from this lens! I carry it for hours at a time without even noticing the weight any more, everything else just seems light on my camera! I would (and do) recommend this lens to anyone for anything they're shooting within the 70-200 zoom range. Probably the biggest con for me with this lens is the fact that it has made me become a lens s n o b! After using this lens for any period of time, you can't pick up most other lenses without some sort of disappointment. I'm in the market for a wide angle lens to complement my 70-200 and find myself comparing every lens that I test to the one I already have, even though the focal ranges are miles apart. If anyone is interested, I'll probably end up purchasing the 24-70L II because so far it's the only lens I've put on my camera that didn't leave me with the feeling that it was missing something. We'll see! If you're thinking about buying this lens, just do it and become a lens carrying member of the elite 70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM fan club!!
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images, excellent image stabilization, my 'go to' lens for everything, great portrait lens
I would recommend this to a friend!

What else can you say?!?! This is by far the best Canon lens I have owned and use it exclusively for weddings and even portraits. It is very sharp, and the auto focus is extremely fast. A must hvae in my humble opinion.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images

Excellent Lens

I bought this lens as an upgrade from the previous model. It had one feature that truly interested me (in relation to the older model)... wide open performance. The difference in performance there was eye opening. The additional stabilization and improved sharpness were also welcome.

Amazing must-have lens!

I bought this about a month ago and I couldn’t be happier. It is on the heavy side, but absolutely slays everything I wanted it to do: weddings and portraits. At 200mm, the background just melts away. If you’re thinking about buying this, you won’t regret it. Mine is impeccable and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. It is a must have for weddings and portrait work, allowing for flexibility with focal length while melting backgrounds into bokeh goodness. I am OBSESSED with it. Thanks for another great lens, Canon!
