Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Lens Review
The Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Lens is a fast, high quality 200mm telephoto lens available for a very nice price . If you have used the renowned Canon EF 135mm f/2.0L USM Lens , you have a good idea of what the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Lens feels like.

Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM review by NVO
Excellent image quality on full frame, across the frame - very uniform. Rich, creamy contrast in darker areas. And yet it's tack sharp - when properly focused. I expected precise focusing to be quite a problem at 200mm, but actually 5Dmk2 autofocuses it more reliably than 85/1.8.
Pros:
- Uniform
- creamy contrast across the frame
- tack sharp
- AF-friendly
Cons:
- Somewhat unbalanced on 5D2 body

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.

Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L USM II - APS-C Format Review / Lab Test Report
The EF 200mm f/2.8 L USM II is very good within its native full format scope and when used on an APS-C DSLR things get even better. It provides a very high resolution combined with an excellent contrast straight from f/2.8.

Good telephoto, not a zoom
I like the lens, but am more used to a zoom telephoto so it is taking longer to get used than I would have liked. I miss not having the flexibility of the zoom.

often overlooked gem
"Everybody loves the versatility of a 70-200 zoom however if you check, you will probably find that the majority of your shots are taken at 200 mm so why not consider the 200 L 2.8 This lens is smaller,its fast, lightweight, inconspicuous and takes sharp pictures with great bokeh.
