Top lens
It's a great lens for certain things. I use it mainly for landscapes. The f4 is not important in landscape so if you need it for sports/wildlife don't bother, get the longer fixed focal length 300 or 400mm which are both superb. As a general low to mid length focal length it's hard to beat.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

Must Have
The box arrived damaged, the box inside was slightly damaged but the lens was fine. Got the lens mounted on canon 700d and mainly use it for wildlife photography. Here are first photos taken with the lens ...

L = Lovely bargain
Had this lens awhile now it's the cheapest L 70-200mm Canon do, it doesn't have image stabilising or weather seal but the image quality and the build quality are first rate. Well worth the money in fact a bargain.

Image Stabilisation Not Necessary
I have had two of the 70 - 200 2.8 IS lenses and have always been disappointed with the amount of time it took to engage the IS. The IS lens would fish around when in that mode and so I usually had it turned off and used a shorter shutter speed for preference in getting a crisper image.

I got the new lens and immediately went out and did 2 photo shoots in 1 day. I didn't know I was such a great photographer (tee hee). All jokes aside this is my first L series lens and it was such a joy to use it. The lens caught focus quickly and the photos came out fabulous.

Very versatile
I have owned this lens for a long time. I purchased it because of its versatility, it give very sharp images, it's not to heavy, and built like a tank. It's an excellent alternative to the more expensive ones like the I.S. and the 2.8 version. It's also lighter.

This was the first lens and my 1st L lens. Only having the 18-55 kit lens before, really showed up how bad that lens was. AF is fast and almost silent. Images are sharp throughout the focal length and bokeh is impressive.
Pros:
- Sharp
- good IQ
- fast focus....and it's white :
Cons:
- It makes your kit lens look silly

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens Review
What Digital Camera founds out if this Canon f/4 lens is better designed than the flagship 70-200mm f/2.8L lens.

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 ?
