This is a brilliant lens at a fantastic price offered by SMIFU. I ordered this lens in the peak Christmas season and was surprised to see it arrive so quick! Mark is a pleasure to deal with, and always quick to respond to queries.

Bought this product after much research.. was planning to get the earlier version of this but then when this one came I was hooked on to its clarity.. a must buy for any serious photographer.. thought a bit heavy, its performance is the best in the lot..

My main reason for this lens was for sports photography but it has really amazed me with portrait work as well.

The Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM II is a spectacular lens that is significantly better than its predecessor and yields excellent results.

Superior optical quality; 4-Stop Image Stabilization; Tank-Like Build Quality

Switches can be accidentally switched; New kids on the block

This is an expensive lens however you could consider offsetting the cost by not needing/selling any prime lens within the given range. This lens performs as good as or very close to the primes.

Easily Interchangeable; Rugged; Durable; Strong Construction; Consistent Output; Fast / accurate auto-focus

Heavy

Everything about this lens is just so perfect. Although the price is a bit high but it deserves to be priced so high. The image quality produced by this lens is just amazing.

Well Canon has always been well respected for their legendary 70-200 mm lens. whether is the 2.8L or F4L with a zoom range favorited by must wedding and sports photographers. This lens has superb build quality & deliversimpressive image quality,focuses accurately and very fast.

I've owned this Lens for about a Month now. I'm replacing a used Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 which is a fine Lens, but in this instance, the Canon is worth the extra money. I have a Side Line Photography Business that is continuing to grow.

If you are considering this lens as an upgrade, do it sooner rather than later. If you are thinking that it's too expensive, and a lessser lens will work 'just as well' you are wrong.

This lens takes razor sharp pictures in every situation; Low light, sports, portraits, and anything else; I had been using the 75-300 IS F/4.5-5.6 Canon lens, but was having difficulty with school gyms and their low light; This lens blows it out of the water!

This lens is heavy; And expensive; But the quality is unmatched, and the images it produces are outstanding

This is one of the top selling canon L series lens. You won't regret having this lens. If you are very serious on your photography passion this is must have lens. Don't spend money on cheap lens but instead saving for this lens.
