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

by  rcarboni,  Jul 20, 2005
Pros: IS, image sharpness, usability, smooth and fast focus
Cons: weight, price, target for theft
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 ...

Review: After spending a couple weeks shooting with my new Canon 20D and 24-70mm f/ 2.8 L USM lens, I decided I needed additional magnification power to reach the birds and other animals I enjoy shooting so much. I had previously looked at the 70-200mm f/ 4 ...

Epinions A phenomenal zoom lens with insane versatility.

by  kweckstrom, top reviewer in Electronics ,  Jun 19, 2002
Pros: Very sharp and versatile, Available with I.S., Internal focusing, Excellent build quality.
Cons: Expensive, scares children, impossible to be inconspicuous.
The Bottom Line: Big, tough, sharp and fast, this is one of Canon's most technologically advanced lenses. You'll pay for it though. Just try not to spook the kids.
Review: Canon has another winner here.

I purchased this lens along with a 28-70mm f/2.8L lens with the thought that this would wind up being my "zoo" lens, or nature photography lens. It was purchased at Adorama for $1800ish for the IS (image...

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

by  thebardteacher,  Aug 13, 2004
Pros: Sharpness, build, IS technology, focus speed, moisture resistance
Cons: Price, weight, plastic hood
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 off ...
