Product Description

The compact optical system of the Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L USM makes it a lightweight telephoto zoom lens. Its inner focusing ring and USM focus drive give it high speed, yet silent, autofocusing capabilities. The fluorite and super UD elements in the lens construction give you high image quality across all its focal lengths, and the nonrotating front lens makes it easy to use polarizing filters.

Just WOW

At first, I had a selection of third-party lenses. Nothing bad, just none that were spectacular. I was somewhat disappointed in the shots I got. Then I bought the 85/1.8 and saw the contrast and colors I was expecting. Since then, I've bought several Canon lenses and this one is my latest.Like the title says, WOW. My first shots were in the house and around it and at all apertures and zoom lengths, the shots are simply incredible. Just fantastic sharpness - no PS USM needed! The colors are real...

Amazing glass for the price

This is a great lens, amazingly sharp. Only thing I would say is if I had the money the 2.8 IS version would be even better and certainly something I'll consider as an upgrade in the future.Use a fast shutter speed or mono/tripod with this thing. Anything below 250/sec gets to be a problem at 200mm....

wow! what a lens

This is a great lens. I do not want to repeat all the good things other reviewers have written about this lens. It is not so heavy so I use tripod without using tripod collar (costs 119.99 in B & H). This is the best value I have ever got for a lens. Now I can't wait to get 17-40mm f4L too. You can get a very nice bokeh when wide open at f4 and f5.6, of course depending on the how far the background is from the subject.People complain how ugly the hood looks but that is subjective. I like it because...

Quality, value and lightweight

Like the Canon EF 17-40 f4L USM, this is it's sister and $100 cheaper to boot!Excellent images at f4!Outstanding images at f9.A lightweight combination with the Canon 5D.An even lighter and more compact combination with the Canon Digital Rebel XT.The only gripe I have is having to purchase the optional and expensive tripod collar ring.The ring does add a bit of noticeable weight.Since I am not a steady shooter, I will be upgrading to the Canon EF 70-200 f4L IS USM when it is available in November...
