Don't worry that it's not the mark II of this lens. Even without the image stabilization, this is easily the best lens I've ever had the pleasure in owning. I picked up this lens to take sports photographs for my old high school in the beginning of the 2017-18 school year.

takes awesome photos - Amazon threw it over the back fence on delivery rather than leave with next door.

Didn't like it.

I bought this on 3/22/19 and returned it on 4/2/19. I shoot bird pictures and them in flight and the Lens just did not make the mark for me. Most all my pictures were blurred, very poor quality. I shoot with the 70-300 f4-5.6 IS II USM, the pictures are very sharped.

I love this lens

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.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Lens 70-200 F2.8 review

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lens will capture those forever moments in the highest quality possible. And it will make life easier on you if you are looking for that lens that will make adjusting for focus much better than doing it the manual way.

Easy installation; Perfect for multiple purposes; Superior clarity and sharpness; Great for outdoor events like weddings; Useful for amateurs and aspiring professional photographers
