This lens is very responsive. Beautiful pictures. The seller (Beach Camera) is awesome, and provides excellent customer service. I received it the day after I ordered, the lens comes with a bag and lens hood provided by Canon, an additional hood and bag are included by Beach Camera in addition to...

I need to purchase some additional lens filters and eventually I plan to upgrade to a full frame camera which is another reason in purchasing the "L" Series Lenses from Canon.

I am new to DSLR photography and about 1 year ago purchased the Canon T1i Kit; I then purchased the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for outdoor shots; The pictures were fine and blew away any of the point-and-shoot pictures I have taken over the past 15 years.

None so far; I do have to purchase another camera bag for all three lenses

I LOVE TAKING THIS LENS WITH ME ANYTIME IM OUTDOORS LENS HAS EXCELLENT SHARPNESS & UNBELIVEABLE LIGHTNESS AS WELL!!!

Ugh None Here

"Optically speaking this lens is second to none! However even while it is claimed to be of professional quality I have to disagree: It seems that the mechanical parts are not better than any cheap consumer grade lens. I happened to bang this lens against the railing on a ship while turning around.

I bought this lens rather than the f2.8 version because of it's size and weight. If compared to the f2.8 version, this lens is approximately half the weight, and noticably smaller. This lens is a joy to hold and use because it's really light, and yet it produces outstanding pictures.

Very lightweight, built like a tank; Zoom ring and the focus ring are all smooth

Sound of the motor is audible

I love this camera... I take railroad photographs and it is awesome. Wish it had more mm, but for the price it is plenty. Photos are amazingly sharp, even with the 1.4x extender. Focus is fast and silent.

Great for shooting my son's flag football games!

Awesome Low Light Lens; Consistent Output; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Strong Construction

Pros: Razor sharp focus. Fast lens. Cons: Haven't found any yet Other thoughts: This lens is one of the finest lenses I have used. The pictures are unbelievable. There really is a huge difference when choosing a Canon L lens. [...]

Absolutely no regrets in purchasing a used EF 70-200 from Adorama! The lens itself is amazing although the weight (while less than the f/2.8)takes some getting used to. Easy to use with fast focus!

Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Rugged

I mostly shoot landscape and nature and this is by far one of the best lenses I've owned. Even wide open it's amazingly sharp and focuses very fast. It will hunt a bit for focus in less than optimal light, but compared to the weight and cost of its 2.8 big brother this was by far the better option...
