I decided on the f/4. I was against the f/2.8 because it's twice the price, twice the weight and a fatter lens. (Then again, you need more glass for f/2.8...)I've been very impressed with the image quality. Every image I've taken has been razor sharp, with no noticeable CA.
Pros:
  • Fast focusing
  • sharp
  • very lightweight
  • cheap alternative to the f/2.8 version if you can live with f/4
Cons:
  • NONE

very nice

The lens focuses very fast with almost no noise. The IS function is a nice touch, but I am not sure how practical it really is. Having upgraded from an entry level lens, this lens is much heavier. Images are sharp with great color.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Easy To Clean
  • Sharp Focus
  • Strong Construction
Cons:
  • Slightly Heavy

Quite simply an excellent lens. As sharp as primes in its telephoto range, great contrast and colour, and state of the art IS. What it gives up in maximum aperture to the f2.8 version can be forgiven considering it's half the weight and 2/3 the cost.

My first L lens

This was my first significant lens purchase, and it hasn't disappointed. I have a Rebel Xsi, and without the battery grip, this lens would seem a bit large on that body, but otherwise it does a phenomenal job! After much research, I decided to start with this lens to add reach to the kit lens.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Quick Focus
  • Rugged
  • Sharp Focus
  • Strong Construction
Cons:
  • Heavy

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS

This is one of my "trinity" of zooms I use on my 40D and 50D. If you never have tried a a professional level lens (they are called "L's in Canon-ese), you will be shocked at how smooth and solid a lens like this is!
