The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens delivers impressive image quality , focuses accurately very fast and has top-of-the-line build quality , 4-stop Image Stabilization , weather sealing and a very useful focal length range . This is now my favorite and one of my most-used lens es.

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/2.8 L IS II USM (covers all formats, 77mm filters, 4 feet/1.2m close-focus, 52.4 oz./1,485g without collar, about $1,999 .) enlarge . I got mine at Adorama . I'd also get it at Amazon , at B&H or at Crutchfield .

The latest incarnation of Canon's 70-200mm f/2.8 lens sports fast silent ultrasonic focusing, weather sealed construction and a four stop image stabiliser and costs around ￡1800.

One of the most popular lenses in our recent popular DSLR lens list was the Canon 70-200mm F/2.8L IS lens . Today Canon have released an updated version of this very popular lens – a Mark II version.

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.

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.

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...

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

Jan 5th. Improving upon one of the most popular lenses in the Canon EF line is no easy task, although Canon has done just that. The all-new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM increases the speed, performance and optical quality of the EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM while maintaining all of the characteristics...

A favourite of the pros, this lens has just been updated. Can it match up to its hefty price tag though? Of all the pro lenses, the 70-200mm f/2.8 is probably one of the most popular. It's range of telephoto focal lengths make it perfect for reportage style portraits and many sports.

Easily the best lens in my kit. The photos produced from this glass are super sharp. I love shooting at f/2.8 as the bokeh is beautiful. Excellent for shooting portraits and sports. It's ridiculously fast and autofocus is amazing! It's solid as a rock and could take a beating.
