Canon EF 70-200/4L IS USM and EF 50/1.2L USM
The EF50/1.2L is a totally new optical design (there was an old FD 50/1.2L) and uses a molded aspheric rear element (the 50/1.0L used two very expensive ground and polished aspherics). It has a true ring type USM motor and a high speed CPU for fast focus.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens Review
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM is the latest addition to Canon's range of 70-200mm telephoto zooms and fills in the whole in Canon's lineup previously consisting of two faster f/2.8 variants (EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM) and another f/4 version (EF 70-200mm f/4L USM).

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

I use this for outdoor sports and love the image quality and the ease of use. I upgraded from the non IS to the IS some time ago and IQ is just as good.
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.

Part of Canon's professional L-series, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM boasts in-built image stabilisation. It's the IS in the name that distinguishes the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM from the cheaper 70-200mm f/4L USM.

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.
