Canon EF 70-200 2.8L IS: A Benchmark for Sharpness and Quality Build

Date of Review:  Aug 13, 2004
The Bottom Line: This may be the best lens ever made for all-around photography. You can use it is so many situations. If you can afford it, buy it!
Review: This is just about as close to the "perfect lens" as one is likely to ever get. For portrait photographers, it pinpoint sharpness is every bit as good as a prime lens, and its "bokeh" (out of focus background), is beautiful, making the portraits pop...

A dream Lens...

Date of Review:  Mar 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: An outstanding lens- One of the best- And VERY highly recommended!
Review: The Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS is considered by many to be the finest lens in the Canon lineup- And for good reason. It is a favorite of mine, and should be included in the kit of any really serious photographer.

The Lens Itself This is a Canon...

Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM - No Compromises. Period.

Date of Review:  Sep 7, 2008
The Bottom Line: Professionals use this lens to make a living, and now you can clearly see why.
Review: Growing as a photographer, I realized that I needed to fine tune my lenses to fit my needs. As you know, I have started using the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM Lens as my main lens. The lens has exceptionally good L-Series optics, and I have caught...

AWESOME lens

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a good zoom for both indoor & outdoor use, you won't go wrong with this lens (assuming it doesn't break your budget)
Review: I've had this lens for almost two years now, and it continues to impress me. Photos are sharp, no edge distortion, haven't seen any chromatic aberration in photos. Did I mention sharpness? At f/2.8 you can get some decent indoor photos without...

Super Sharp!

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2001
The Bottom Line: For a medium fast focal length 35mm lens, the Canon 70-200/2.8 can't be beat in any category!
Review: This lens is a professional level lens system. Tack sharp as they say, at any F stop you would like to try, at any focal length. I use this as well as the Canon 100-400IS for professional sports photography. The 70-200 2.8 is faster focusing, and...

Fantastic lens with no equal.

Date of Review:  Sep 6, 2007
The Bottom Line: Incredible lens and quality. If you have a the means and needs, this lens is for you.
Review: There are more than a few positive reviews available on this particular item and I must say that I agree with almost all of them. This is a fantastic lens for your Canon camera. The images are nothing short of break taking and will make an amateur...

The "Jewel" of Telephoto Photography

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2006
Review: This lens, as heavy as it is (52-oz), provides some of the best results I have seen in this range.

Fast, sharp, accurate to a fault... if you use proper quality filters, it will return a terrific image. The Image-Stability assist will...

Canon 70-200mm 2.8L IS - A must have lens

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Quality comes at a price. If you are seeking professional images, this lens is a must. If you are only a casual photographer, consider a less costly alternative.
Review: If you own a Canon EOS camera and are serious about the quality of the images you are capturing, the 70-200mm 2.8L is one of *the* lenses to own. This zoom lens belongs right up there with most primes, and that is why many professional photographers...
