Amazing lens.

This is my first telephoto and my first L lens. The main purpose of this lens is just to take pictures of my kids and landscape. All I have to say is that all the positive comments about this lens you read is true.

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

Canon users were always gifted with a broad range of excellent tele lenses, especially zooms. At the time the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 USM L hit the market back in 1999 it was another milestone but there was one itch left: wouldn't it be nice to have this lens with an image stabilizer ?

Sharp Lens and good focal length

This is my first L, but I got chance to try with other L lenses including 100-400. But so far this is one of the sharper L lenses. Comparing it with Canon 50 f/1.4, Rokinon 85 f/1.4(boken king), Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro(non-IS) and others for sharpness on 40D, nothing can beat my 50mm f/1.4.
Pros:
  • My first L lens and is sharp
  • I had it exchanged once and the second is really good
  • Focal length is right for walk around to parks and play grounds in sunlight
  • I already knew its slower aperture and lack of IS and no complains on that
  • Good bokeh on longer side
Cons:
  • My first copy was not good at f/4, but 1-stopped down, its is razor sharp but I returned for an exchange and got a fantastic(may be it is how it is) lens
  • No cons for me so far

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
