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...

Canon EF70-200/2.8L USM Lens - The Work Horse of Pro Lenses

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: This lens is ideal for sports, portrait and landscape photographers. It is one of my primary lenses I always carry in my camera case!
Review:

What makes a great image? A photograph is as good as a photographers eye? But I feel a photograph is also as good as the lens it was taken with too!

Sharp, powerful, robust lens -- everyone stares at you

Date of Review:  May 4, 2006
The Bottom Line: An awesome lens, highly recommend it!
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...

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...

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...

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...

A phenomenal zoom lens with insane versatility.

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2002
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...

Image Stabilization worth it's weight (pun intended) in gold.

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: THE telephoto to have in your bag! IS is very nice option. If you don't want to spend the money get the cheaper version without it.
Review: The L series lenses signified by their red stripe or in the telephoto range their red stripe and tan coloring is Canons top of the line lenses. The range on the 70-200 coupled with it's 2.8 appature make this lens extremely flexible. This is THE...

A star lens

Date of Review:  May 27, 2009
The Bottom Line: Whether you are an amateur or a professional who has a need for a telephoto zoom, this is the answer.
Review: I purchased this lens in February of 2008 and have been shooting with it ever since. I am not a professional photographer by any stretch of imagination. I picked it up as a hobby two years ago. The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM allows me to take...

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...
