Lens Test: Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM

A year ago Canon unveiled an upgraded version of one of its crown jewels: the 70–200mm f/2.8L IS lens. The original, debuting nearly 10 years ago as one of the first f/2.8 lenses with IS, was fast, plus sharp at the wider focal lengths. It was heavy, though, and at $1,700 (street), expensive.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens Review

Perhaps the most versatile of all moderate tele zoom focal lengths, the 70-200mm or thereabouts range is a hallmark and standard-bearer for many optical companies. Being a constant aperture (fast) zoom, this lens opens up numerous focusing, depth of field and perhaps as important low light shooting...

Great lens. Costs a fortune. People are always saying, go with the 70 - 200 f 4.0 L. It's lighter and more affordable, yes, but that's where the comparisons end. Read the lenstip review if you don't believe me.
Pros:
  • Incredible images
  • Image stabilization....wow....I hear and see all these comments about how people should use tripos or use stabilizers with a telephoto lens of the length
  • Well I would have to say that, I cannot shoot hand held video without tripod or stabilizer on any of my L lenses except my 24...
Cons:
  • No kidding it really is heavy
  • It is the only lens that I own where I can feel a bit of "play" with the way the lens fits on the body
  • I actually feel a bit uncomfortable carrying the of it around with just one hand on the camera body
  • I use a mark iii 5d

It might cost almost £2000, but with a fast, sharp, near-silent performance, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is definitely a lens for Canon owners to seriously consider… The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is a member of Canon's flagship L-series of lenses.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM review by waro52

Another awesome 70-200 zoom from Canon. I think this lens is sharper than my f4 IS version, which is incredible. For indoor sports it focuses quickly with no mircoadjustment needed on either of my bodies. The only bummer is it's weight. Small price to pay for the images it produces.
Pros:
  • sharpness
  • contrast
  • color fidelity
  • Canon L quality
Cons:
  • weight
