Look no further

I bought this lens second hand from WEX at a very good price considering warranty and service that came with it. I use it primarily on a Sony A7R II body with 1.4x and 2x extenders. I bought it originally for photographing small birds for which it is ideal.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Image Quality
  • Rugged
  • Sharp Focus
  • Strong Construction
Cons:
  • None

L quality at an inexpensive price

This is a very sharp, well built lens for a suprising price. No, its not that white, 5.5 pound EF 200 f/2 L, and it doesnt pretend to be. What it is, IS a lens worthy of the L line, and 5K less than the f/2.

Telephoto lens boasting high image quality and carrying ease. With two UD-glass elements and rear focusing to correct aberrations, image delineation is extremely sharp.

Superb lens with fast, accurate AF, crisp image

I am using this lens mainly for sports and street events, such as parades, carnivals, and other festivals. The small size (as compared to 70-200) and black color make this less conspicuous than the white beasts. Build quality is excellent!

The glass on it is amazing. A real pleasure to use

Just opened mine and I'm shocked at the quality, top notch all the way. Looking down the barrel, my first impressions...wow. The glass on it is amazing. A real pleasure to use. I love it.

Canon 200mm

Have borrowed this lens and did not want to give it back. Normally I like the use of a 70-200mm f2.8 but for wonderful crisp shots for available light indoor sports and concert photography this prime lens is fabulous.

Excellent quality as you would expect

Excellent quality as you would expect. However, if you're thinking that this 200mm prime will have the edge over an L series zoom, think again. When compared to my original 70-200 2.8L, I found nothing between them. I'm talking optical performance here of course.

Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM

I shoot with a 6D, own several L lenses, including the very sharp 24-70 f2.8 Mkii, 70-200 f4 IS and the 135 f2. The 200mm is quite sharp at 2.8, I'd not hesitate to use it here, better at 3.5 and top notch through to f8.
Pros:
  • Very sharp
  • very quick autofocus
  • smallish
  • lightish
  • great out-of-focus blur
Cons:
  • A little long for really good handholdability

Nice Lens

I use the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L-II USM Lens to take pictures of my daughter at the beach and other places where I need more telescopic power. I have a Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM Lens and it ROCKS! Between the two, I think the 135 gives better color and better focus.
Pros:
  • Durable
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus
  • Strong Construction
Cons:
  • Poor in Low Light
