I used this lens for a couple of hundred test shoots over the last week. I tested it under following condition.

Camera Canon Rebel T2i

shooting conditions:

1. bright light - very well handling and crisp shots specially with low ISO settings.

Consistent Output; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Strong Construction

Heavy

On a full frame body, the performance across the entire aperture range is simply brilliant. The weight helps balance the lens even at 200mm. The IS also works extremely well. Pictures are very clear and you can also get amazing portraits from a distance. Overall, a perfect lens.

It is a big upgrade than the non L lens. The images are sharp and clear. Since I use tripod so I do not notice the difference between this one and the IS unit. Will buy a 1.4X converter to try.

Excellent picture quality with my Canon EOS 70D.

I would like to thank the supplier for the items I received, perfect packing, same as it is specified in soul.com

As I got to shot pictures the first time with this lens, I felt that "High level" of this lens. It's really professional and very good in build quality and optical performance. But on my exemplar, the sharpness at 200mm just begins at f/5.6 and the "wow" effect of sharpness is at f/8.

Already very sharp at f/3.2; excellent build quality; good handling

On my exemplar sharpness @200mm begin's at f/5.6

Meine "Ellie", wie ich mein 70-200/2.8 L USM getauft habe, feiert jetzt seinen 22. Geburtstag (!!) und macht selbst heute noch an 1DX und 5DIV knackscharfe Bilder. Ich habe keine Sekunde bereut, dieses Objektiv vor 12 Jahren für einen schmalen Taler mit l?dierter Nase vor dem Glascontainer bewahrt...

I have had one for years and it is tough, super sharp, great close focus and should be a must for serious photographers who can't afford the image stabilised one.

This was my second L glass and I love it. Though my EF 24-70 f/2.8 lens does a really good job as an all-purpose lens, I always missed the reach of a tele zoom (for street & portrait photos). I almost put my trigger on the EF 70-200 f/4 L because of its high reputation and its attractive price.

F2.8; sharp even at wide open; great contrast and color

Not weather-sealed; Rotation between the lens and the camera (EOS 30d

Being priced at around £980, this older 70-200mm lens may lack stabilisation but does include weather sealing and fast, silent ultrasonic focusing at a much lower price, making it an interesting alternative for those on a tighter budget.

Good value; Excellent Build Quality; Very good sharpness in the centre of the frame; Fast focusing

Loss of sharpness towards the edges of the frame; Falloff of illumination towards the corners at 200mm
