Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM review by cpe1991

I bought this lens for a safari holiday based on these reviews. They are right - it is a fantastic lens. It is relatively light and well balanced on my 7D and I can walk around all day with the camera in my hand. It is tack sharp at all focal lengths, excellent contrast and colour.
Pros:
  • Superbly sharp
  • relatively light
  • useful range
  • superb IS
Cons:
  • None

Pros:
  • Great build and image quality, especially sharpness and contrast
  • Light enough to carry around and hand-hold
Cons:
  • None I can think of practically

Canon EF 70-200mm f4L IS USM

Canon's EF 70-200mm f4.0L IS USM really delivers the goods on both cropped and full-frame bodies. The range may not extend as far as 70-300mm models, but the optical quality is superb and as an 'L' lens, the build quality is also excellent.

The optical Image Stabilization in the new EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens provides up to an incredible four stops of shake correction-a first for Canon IS lenses. The use of fluorite UD lens elements provides excellent optical performance in terms of resolution and contrast.
