� | Pros: | Very Sharp, Skillful focal lengths, Low-cal weight, Did I mention Sharp!! | | Cons: | Lack of IS, contrast a petty weak | | |
This lens is ane of or if not the sharpest telephoto lens by Canon, it really is peachy for sharpness, information technology's also calorie-free and then great for landscape photography.. The only downside is lack of IS and the contrast is a trivial weak only that's standard with all telephotos | |  Apr 3, 2022 | | Didi88

� | Pros: | Sharp, well congenital, versatile | | Cons: | | | |
I bought the used one. Unfortunately, information technology was badly decentered. The seller told he wasn't enlightened of it, and offered me to pay the repair neb.The official canon service fixed it. I didn't expect this fossil is still serviceable, merely it is. At least the eyes alignment is bachelor. Non sure about repairs that require spare parts. Some people say this lens optical elements can fall out of alignment easily, and the slight bump is enough to make your photos blurry forever. I don't know, the fourth dimension volition show. Anyhow, this lens is sharp at any focal length. I use it wide open up without hesitation when the shallow dof is needed. 200 mm at f4 on a full frame camera can requite yous a decent subject separation. For landscapes, I use mostly f5.6 or f8, which makes the picture really tack abrupt. Metal body feels nifty. This lens makes my other mid-range non L lenses look similar a plastic garbage. The IS would be a nice thing to have, but I never missed a shot because of it so far. | | | May iv, 2021 | | oldshutterhand

� | Pros: | Sharp, build quality, price. | | Cons: | For the toll, none. | | |
I bought this one together with a canon extender 1.iv and the combo worked great. Bought it to supplant a Sigma seventy-300 and information technology was a great increment in the quality of my photos. Although it is a fleck short in a FF camera, on a crop sensor has a nice tele reach for a walk around lens. Size and weight are small, as its price for the quality you lot get (both build and image quality).One affair I really appreciated coming from the Sigma was the abiding discontinuity and that the front element does not rotate. I sold it to finance a 100mm 2.8L macro. | | | Apr 12, 2013 | | marp001

This is my showtime "L" lens and I really similar it. The images are sharp, the auto focusing is fast. The build quality is superb.
I love the wait of the pictures the lens makes, the dissimilarity and the squeamish bokeh. I chose this one over the f/two.8 by and large because of the size. It is not very heavy. Too the smaller size is an reward, if you travel a lot like me. If you wish, have a wait at some pictures taken with this lens in this set on my flickr. all were accept with my Canon EOS 7D. http://world wide web.flickr.com/photos/martinpilat/sets/72157630843357626/ | | | Jul 31, 2012 | | Geoarts

� | Pros: | First-class image quality, very sharp, excellent focal range, lightweight, superb construction, practiced price | | Cons: | None | | |
If you�ve wanted Catechism �L� quality images without the high price tag here is the lens for you. Excellent professional person class construction with superb image quality and sharpness. AF is sure and swift. Of grade, no IS but if used with a fast shutter speed or with a monopod the images are quite sharp without a tripod. Excellent value and very affordable used. Highly recommend for all Canon shooters, especially those on a upkeep. | | | Jul 6, 2012 | | bpham

� | Pros: | Light, inexpensive, groovy built quality, sharpness | | Cons: | No IS, but I knew that when I got information technology. | | |
Had the lxx-200 F2.8 earlier. Great lens, simply sooooo heavy that I dreaded using it, so sold it because information technology was laying in my drawer about of the times. Notwithstanding, this smaller sibling is the opposite of heaviness and the moving-picture show quality is sharp even in the corners. The F4 and non-IS do not bother me because I intend to use this lens for mostly landscape and the weight allows me to carry with me on hikes or trips to abroad, and the $$ does not break the banking concern either. Great lens and I will probably keep this for a long time.Saw some people lament about vignette, but now aday that is so easy to ready in post processing so no issue hither for me either...merely go on in heed that this lens is sharp and light, that is the main depict for me. | | | Jun x, 2012 | | nswelton

� | Pros: | sharp, contrasty, sharp, light, small, portable, affordable, sharp -- did i mention abrupt? | | Cons: | lacks IS | | |
unbelievable lens. this and its IS blood brother are the best catechism zooms fabricated in my opinion, bated from the 70-200 2.8 mark II. once i used this lens, i was blown away by how sharp the images were. i didn't retrieve zooms were capable of this quality wide open. i used the not IS version briefly, sold it, put my two.8 on the shelf and reserved it for emergency only, and got the f4 IS. i honey the lxx-200 f4 series of lenses. they are simply phenomenal. for an outdoor shooter or a travel shooter, you can't beat them. they're piece of cake to deport around all mean solar day and won't break your dorsum/cervix/camera bag. lite, pocket-sized, portable, and unbelievable eyes. enthusiastic thumbs up. | | | April 11, 2012 | | jfwalker

� | Pros: | Price, build-quality, sharpness, contrast, weight | | Cons: | not and indoor lens (but this isn't a con, simply the right gear for the correct job). | | |
I was nervous when buying this lens due to the lack of IS. That beingness said, I am absolutely delighted with this lens' performance. It is incredibly abrupt, has great contrast, and very low-cal. Though IS may exist nice (i've endemic Nikon lenses with IS), I haven't found myself wanting for it in this lens. The fact is, if yous're shooting outdoors or trying to end activity, your shutter-speed needs to be college than 1/60 and therefore fast enough to end camera-shake. I tin can go precipitous results with this lens shooting at around 1/100 (but I have decently steady hands). This is a fantastic lens, and for the coin there's goose egg better.
This isn't a negative, simply if you're wanting to shoot indoors the f2.8 is probably necessary. | | | February 11, 2012 | | matej42

How-do-you-do.
Better explain the price affair, I am one of those people that thinks everything is too much money!
However, it is worth every penny, this is a really expert lens.
I am very pleased with myself for getting information technology, even though I am now penny-less. Good job I like beans.. I live in Shetland, lucky me, plenty of wildlife to take pics of.
Have a look at the link below, and please tell me what you lot think of the puffin shot.
It is easy hither to get shut up to birds like puffins, if you know where to go you are near falling over them! Very good lens, it is a very good price, and it helps you take what yous see; if you know what I mean. Tim. Puffin link;

� | Pros: | Lightweight price & Lens! | | Cons: | Seen an the poor relation compared to the 4 other Canon 'L' 70-200's, | | |
At last an 'L' prime zoom that really warrants the '50' tag
My previous 'L' zooms have been truly bottomless - [100-400 & seventy-200 F2.eight 'IS '].
Because of these 2 I've avoided all zooms, and bought 85,135,200 & 400 'L' primes which are all magnificent lenses, I'd never supervene upon the primes, simply this nice 'bog standard' 70-200 makes a great walking lens, when I need large lens discontinuity then IMO you really need a prime.
But sofar equally this lens goes - forget the expensive seventy-200'due south and get this and save yourself some money - yous won't regret it. NICE ONE Canon !! | | | May 31, 2011 | | dmcharg

� | Pros: | Astonishing lens for the coin, all-time value all round telephoto by a long way and much cheaper than the IS or 2.8 version. | | Cons: | F4 non fast plenty for indoors. | | |
I've had this lens for seven years and its just amazing. It covers a very very useful range and is very sharp and contrasty. Actually can't error this lens. There is a reason canon have multiple lens in this range and thats because its a very useful range. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this lens again. | | | Apr 29, 2011 | | filmaze

� | Pros: | SHARP, Great IQ, great colors, corking bokeh | | Cons: | | | |
This is the simply lens, outside of the 50mm one.8 that I won't become rid of. I've had 3 telephoto lenses. 75-300 which I upgraded to the 55-250, which I upgraded to this lens. I'g non maxim I'll never swing for the IS version, or upgrade to the 2.8 version, but I volition ALWAYS accept a version of the 70-200 in my bag. I've had shut to 15 different "walk effectually" lenses and I'one thousand still not super satisfied with what I'k shooting in that range. For this range, Canon doesn't disappoint. It's precipitous wide open and gets a little sharper stopped down (mostly in the corners). Unless you're using it for landscapes (I don't) the corner sharpness isn't equally important. I use a monopod (having a "L" lens isn't magic, you withal accept to practise your office) to get the sharpness I'g looking for. Portraits are amazing, colors are fantastic, Bokeh is pleasing, speed outdoors is acceptable, build quality is 2d to none, USM is quiet...I love everything well-nigh this lens! | | | Oct 21, 2010 | | Marc de Wit
