By far, the SHARPEST lens I own.

Date of Review:  Jun 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: Big and expensive, this lens is the very pinnacle of sharpness, contrast, color and build quality. Buy this lens. Enough said.
Review: When I started doing Digital SLR photography, I started out slow. I already spent most of my money on the D30 digital body to the tune of $2800, and didn't have many choices in lenses.

So, I purchased a 28-200mm zoom lens as an...

A perfect mid-range zoom

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2002
The Bottom Line: You can't go wrong with this lens, although you should also consider Canon's brand-new 24-70mm f/2.8L.
Review: This is the best lens I own, and I leave it on my EOS-3 almost all the time. It produces some of the best image quality I have ever seen. It is outstanding for sharpness, contrast, color, flatness, speed of focusing, and just about every other lens...

The best mid range zoom bar none

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you have canon EOS this is a must have lens
Review: Over the years I have shot Nikon, Minolta and Pentax. These choices have brought me to become a Canon user today. If you are serious about your SLR photography you will inevitably need to address the need for a lens in the mid range of the spectrum...

Big lens, Big price tag.

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2000
Review: As a professional, I use this lens for a small amount of portraiture work, but mostly for wide angle and low light shots. Typical of the high quality "L" lens series from Canon, this lens is built to last.

With the 77mm filter size, filters...

An outstanding lens if you get a good copy

Date of Review:  Nov 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: A top performer in it's class as long as you get a good one. I wasn't able to get this kind of performance from any competition.
Review: This lens is much maligned, but one must first understand that it is a much greater challenge to make a quality superwide angle zoom in the first place. Let me say that I have a number of first rate images that I seriously doubt would have been...

Amazing Professional Lens

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: Amazing lens, fast focusing, sharp and contrasty photos. A bit heavy and expensive but worth it.
Review: The Canon 28-70 F2.8 L is one of the best camera lenses that I have ever shot with. As with all L series lenses this one is built like a tank. With all metal construction it is truly a beast of a lens. The weight counter balances well a pro camera...

A somewhat overpriced "L" series zoom

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2004
Review: This is among my worst lenses that I have. Well actually it is the worst but that is not saying it is horrible. It is going up against some amazing other pieces of glass.

There is nothing mechanically wrong with this lens. It is...

2.8 Wide Angle is the way to go!

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2005
Review: So why do I like this lens... The most important thing about this lens is it's flexibility. A constant f/2.8 rocks. It's very difficult to make a zoom wide angle with such a low apature. The image quality is amazing and is really fun to shoot with...

great landscape, portrait lens

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: fast autofocus, great light gathering ability, beautiful images, this is a great lens!
Review: This is a professional quality wide to short tele zoom with super fast autofocus and large maximum aperture. It's sharp, accurate and produces minimal distortion even at its widest setting.

The lens is nicely balanced and since it's an...
