The only portait lens you'll ever need. I have no need to spend an extra $1200 for I.S., because I use a T.R.I.P.O.D. I can count eyelashes on every exposure.

"This is my first L lens. I've had it about a year now. I love the 2.8 aperture throughout the range. Its my favorite lens I own. If your thinking about getting this lens, don't' hesitate. You won't be disappointed. If you have an extra $1000 get the IS version.

This is definatly the best lens for the money! This lens produces amazing, crisp pictures. I the quality is unserpassed, but then again that is what you get when you go with the "L" series.

Hi I brought this lense canon ef non is 70 200,it is great lense, well I don't need is for my style,and I love it

The lens is amazing.. The lens performed as advertised and is one of my favorite telephoto lens. The only 'con' I can think of is the cost of the lens and the lack of Image stability, but no one said this lens will have once.

I have this lens with my 450d. Use on sports & motorsport no IS is great & f2.8

I purchased this lens as my first L series lens . I was a little nervous with it not having ( IS) After using this lens I could clearly see that it was no issue not having (IS). I'm very happy as it has met all my expectations.

This was my first venture into L glass. I will never look back as the IQ between this lens and my Tamaron 28-270 is so unbelievable. FredMirand rates this lens very highly. No regrets what so ever.

IQ is out of this world; No real need to buy the IS version if you use mono/tri in low light; Ive shot all day long with it and had no problems

Its a bit heavy; But if you buy a decent camera strap and take the weight off your neck then it can be a carry all day

The second best lens money can buy. It's great for Sport Action. I used it for weddings as well. You can't go wrong with this lens!
