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

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.

Daniel Lezano puts this Canon telephoto through its paces Guide Price: £1,540 / Street Price: £950 Construction: 18 elements in 15 groups Maximum aperture: f/2.8 Minimum aperture: f/32 Filter thread: 77mm Angle of view: 34º – 12º No.

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Lens is a middle child in the very popular Canon L Series 70-200mm family. The 70-200mm L lens family shows many genetic similarities aside from their obvious focal length range similarity.

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
