Pros: Unbeatable value for money

Cons: Ring for monopod attachment

Opinion: I've had it for a few months and combined with the R6, it becomes a sniper for sport, in particular for rhythmic gymnastics. Excellent sharpness, but not excessive as I like it and excellent blur. The only flaw, but this of all or almost all the 70-200 f2.8 I had, is the outer ring on which the lens rotates in rapid changes of framing in sports photos. The very small screws that it touches are easily unscrewed. Next year the construction project turns 30 and is still holding its own!!

Pros: Colors, blurry, build fastness, beautiful blur

Cons: weight, but after all we are still talking about an f/2.8

Opinion: A simply iconic lens. And if it is true as it is true that equipment does not make the photographer, going to sports halls or concert arenas with the "short-toed toe" attached to the camera made me feel like a real "pro". Taken used, at a check of the serial number my specimen turned out to have been built in 1995. Yet despite his seniority (and who knows what adventures he has lived with the previous owner(s), and despite a fall and a "tribute" ball from a professional volleyball player, he continues to do his job very well and remains my favorite workhorse. As long as it holds its own, I don't feel the need to replace it even with version II. Excellent for sports, just as much for concerts, spectacular for portraits. What do you want to say to the legendary "short-toed eagle" of the Canon house? Maybe that it weighs so much? It's an f/2.8, and it's designed to go into battle, if necessary it can be used as a truncheon or to drive nails (don't try this at home!). Used in combination with the 1DX or 5D Mark III it balances quite well, but whatever camera you use with it the result is always guaranteed.

Pros: Sharpness, colors, solidity. Simply put, a must!

Cons: I would say nothing at all... Maybe don't have it!

Opinion: I think there is no need to add too many words for a perspective that is now the history of the Canon brand and about which everything and more has already been said. I assume the best 70-200 ever and certainly the longest-lived, since it went out of production just a year ago. It is certainly no coincidence that the Japanese company has been producing it for about 30 years, practically at the same time as the evolved and stabilized versions. It has to be tested in the field and only then do you realize the quality, reliability and versatility of the optics. Very sharp, very fast AF and spectacular color rendering, I have used it with great satisfaction in the field of sports and reportage photos and I think it should not be missing in the kit of the Pro or the advanced amateur photographer, especially since it is often found at attractive prices in the second-hand market. I preferred the "smooth" version to the stabilized one (which seems to be slightly superior in terms of sharpness) as it does not have any particular needs and is still an extra electronic component, which over time may need assistance. Anyone who says it's heavy better turn to the ML, considering that this is a nice metal barrel, compact and indestructible. I'm fine with it and it's very balanced even for handheld use, at most with a nice monopod for long sessions. The new evolutions have obviously considerably improved the already high standard, but for what is my photography, it fully satisfies me.

Pros: Sharpness, bokeh, aperture

Cons: Weight, not tropicalized

Opinion: It is undoubtedly the telephoto lens par excellence! It seems, and probably is, indestructible. It has a really high quality, even today, in 2022 it meets all my needs. In the portrait it is something unique. Of course, it weighs more than a kilo, but having always used it with equally heavy cameras and with respective battery grip, in the end, it is almost comfortable. Anyway, it is so pleasant and satisfying the result that the defects take a back seat. It's just a shame that it's not tropicalized, unlike its Fujifilm counterpart (50-140 f/2.8). Really recommended!

Pros: brightness, sharpness, sublime blur, color rendering.

Cons: none in my opinion

Opinion: I have owned it for several years, what to say, excellent lens that still today in 2021 can have its say. It lacks the stabilized, but it is an optics that when you use the Ami, excellent color rendering, excellent sharpness, sublime blur. It is understandable why the canon after so many years still keeps it in production. I highly recommend it. Excellent lens to have in your photographic kit and jealously guard.

Pros: Price quality, still in production (availability of any spare parts), soft blurry, fast AF, quite defined at TA.

Cons: Sharpness not suitable for very dense sensors. Lack of tropicalization.

Opinion: Purchased used to match the 77D and later 5Dsr and 7Dmkii. On the last two camera bodies it is pleasantly soft at TA, but without an appreciable loss of detail (the two bodies even if of different format have similar density), on the 77D the loss of definition of recovers by closing even by half a stop. If you have camera bodies with more than 20 megapixels and you want definition you have to take into account the IS ii and IS iii versions. Excellent construction, well balanced on heavy bodies, unbalanced forward on 77D and the like. The AF, helping the brightness, is really good and precise. Fantastic also paired with the 1.4X second version. It does not have major differences in optical quality between the various focal lengths, it suffers a little from the backlight, but it does not create flares and in some cases of portrait the effect is even pleasant. I use it for sports combined with the 7dmkii and for portrait combined with the 5Dsr. I do not hide that to be able to take the ISiii that I tried and as a definition on dense sensors is really superior. I exclude is I and II as it is discontinued. Of note it should be considered that all the slow movements of both AF and Zoom are internal and there are no excursions even towards the camera body; this even if the optics are not tropicalized greatly reduces the absorption of dust inside the optics and mirror / sensor of the camera body.

Pros: Precision and lightning speed, solidity, compactness, wonderful yield, sharpness and engraving, pasty and delicious blurry colors and blur, a war machine, value for money.

Cons: lack of stabilisation, but there are two versions for this very reason, otherwise really none.

Opinion: I needed a good telephoto lens for both portraits and receptions and ceremonies, but my wallet required me to choose a Tamron with stabilizer or a smooth Canon, although the competitors offer excellent quality I decided to stay true to the dear Canon house, while giving up stabilization. I can tell you that it has never really disappointed me, stabilization is felt only when the weight leads you to tire your hands after many hours of work, it is a little cumbersome of course but of course we are still talking about a professional telephoto lens, the minimum focus distance is sometimes a bit uncomfortable compared to the current ones but you get a little used to it... otherwise it is clear already from f2.8 enough, with the mark iii focusing the eyes is always a delight, speed exceeded perhaps only by the big brother IS II, despite the weight is always a real lightning, precision from war machine, always ready for the fleeting moment ... the blurry then that it offers is really pasty and always beautiful to see, the colors are vivid and the complexion always velvety and delicate in shades, to date you can find it in good condition at 600 euros ... super recommended !

Pros: Sharpness,great blurry,butfast even in low lighting

Cons: Minimum focus distance,weight,no tropicalization

Opinion: After a few months of testing, I can review this goal. At the first impact I immediately noticed its robustness and the weight not really contained... it's not a lens that you can take it with you too long. Like all l-series lenses, it shows remarkable sharpness and has a very pleasant blur. The colors are faithful... has a quick focus, in the portraits it gives a certain three-dimensionality... Very recommended.

Pros: Sharpness, image quality, brightness

Cons: Absence of tropicalization

Opinion: After a year of use I can say that having gone from the stabilized f4 version to this, 2.8 not IS, was a great choice. I feared the absence of the stabilizer combined with the higher weight of the lens and instead I do not miss it at all: the amount of photos with micromove is absolutely negligible while always shooting freehand. The image quality is top, you find the files clean, practically already finished and with gorgeous colors and blurring. I use it mainly for sports, but also for portraits and reportage. Considering also that taking it used and selling the f4 IS I spent virtually nothing, the move was a success. The higher weight compared to the f4 version is something you know at the time of purchase, so you can't say it's a flaw but a feature of the lens. I still find it well balanced and comfortable to wield. The absence of tropicalization can be a limit, however I have not encountered problems even using it very outdoors in non-clean contexts.

Pros: Robustness, Af that does not mistake a shot, bright, colours

Cons: Minimum focus distance

Opinion: I used the lens in question on two camera bodies: 5D Mark III and 7D Mark I (it will be my next camera body). What about, sensational. Nice to use, quick focus, no mistake a shot. Sharp and with sublime colors, it adapts to anything. I went from street photos, macro, to moving objects without any problem, gave me great emotions. Using the only single point of MAF on both camera bodies I had the chance to appreciate with my own eyes a bokeh never seen until now. Natural and well defined, lust for the eyes. The only downside is maybe the minimum focus distance, but it's a 10 lens. To have in the kit.

Pros: Robustness, fast and precise AF

Cons: Not Tropicalizato, resistance to flare

Opinion: Had for 5 years on 5d and 5d III and many of my photos here in the Forum are made with the aforementioned lens. Very well built, with precise AF. Sharp even at full aperture but not the best around. Tamron G2 and Canon II series beat him in this field. Excellent blur, you notice enough chromatic aberration at full aperture. The resistance to flare is a weak point unfortunately. Watch where the sun is if you shoot with the low sun on the horizon. Unfortunately not tropicalized and in my 5d III the hooking had a little bit of play. However it is a lens that I recommend especially for portraits but also landscapes.

Pros: All

Cons: Boh... Nothing.

Opinion: I have it for a couple of days when I used it in any context I could think of, without artistic ambition, just to test. Optical excellence, he does not despise any photographic genre (except fauna, where it would be very short), he gave me photos fully satisfactory from the point of view of colors, sharpness etc. I mounted it on three different bodies (5d old, 1DsII and 6DII), well it left an indelible imprint on my heart especially in the portrait with embodied rendering that many dream and in the landscape where the sharpness from the 2.8 is already present in a sensational. Accustomed to fixed optics, I did not expect such a soft and engaging bokeh. Three-dimensionality is not an option in this beautiful lens. I thought I had some regrets for giving away the 70-200 F4 stabilized, but now it's just a pleasant memory. The weight? So what? Want a professional perspective? There is no plastic here and it's not for half-cartridges. For them, there are the ML. Here you are serious and you save on the gym. Enjoy! Update of 02/07/2018: brought to the field for a service for the soccer team. Well, you know, the light conditions after dark are terrible. Well, auto-ISO is TV at 1/250, to always fit at every focal time in security. Maremma! Opened to the Max, looking for the light and I say between me "farewell sharpness, diaphragm 2.8 I expect a disaster... "Instead, on the display, not known blurry or blurred. At home, on the monitor, I was pleasantly pleased. Caned about 3 photos on a 400 session and change. Gentlemen, take care that convincing a car like 6DII to play sports, well, chances are running. The machine, other times, had not betrayed me but even convinced too much. Tonight, with this light cannon, he gave me really effective photos with sharpness and three-dimensionality that I did not believe. In summary: It proved to be excellent even in critical situations where you need quick times but also sharpness and overall goodness of the image. He gave the Turtle 6d II a more gear! Weighs a bit, the difference with F4 is marked, but just a minimum to get used to it. Sconsigliatissimo to those who want "the doll outfit" where you weigh the equipment to travel light. I tell you more: attached to the 1ds Mk. II is Bilanciatissimo. Three kilograms. In all pure pleasure.

Pros: Sharpness, bokeh, AF speed, build quality.

Cons: Minimum focusing distance.

Opinion: I have it for a couple of years and several times I thought to sell it to move to something lighter, (which by the way is the lightest in its category) but there are no better alternatives. It's a terrific target. Tested in ceremonies, landscapes, sports and concerts goes that is a marvel. It has an excellent optical quality, very sharp already at f 2.8, fabulous bokeh and AF always fast and reliable. Among the cons I should have put the stabilizer, but the realities do not need. I shoot almost always in AV mode without taking into account the shutter speed, so sometimes I find shots from 1/80 without any micromotion. I do not know how this is possible, it will be that the heavy weight goes to reduce vibration, the fact is that I use whole days in weddings even with short times and the photos are perfect. I regard it without doubt the best 70-200 2.8 for quality price for canon, recommended.

Pros: Very solid, luminous construction, lightning-fast and infallible autofocus, already very clear at f2.8.rnColoring micro-balance, well balanced microcontrast and excellent tactile feeling

Cons: Stabilization (with reserve on use), absent tropicalization (?) RnDo not have it supplied

Opinion: Bought 2 days ago, but to me quite familiar. rnHo long weighted on his purchase as I wanted once and for all to add a 70-200 2.8 to the kit. On balance if Canon produces it from the distant 95 and has never stopped a reason there will be. Although it has an old pattern is always a good solution, its value does not collapse so if you can make the step to the brother IS II you will not risk selling this lens below a certain threshold; in any case it is worth every penny spent, weighs and feels, but it is justified thanks to its phenomenal robustness and brightness.rnNitido already at 2.8 gives a delicate and pleasant bokeh to the eye, also help the colors and the general contrast.rnThe first approach It can be frustrating as it is still heavy and with a FF or series 1 after a few hours especially in difficult light conditions it will be more difficult to have a steady hand (with a 5D with BG and biancone turns around 3kg) .rnThe stabilizer is definitely a lack, but it feels only when you can not raise too manythe iso or you make shots in critical light situations (church and interior), with the right firmness can be photographed quietly even to 1/60 without major risks.rnThe flaw if you can consider such is that as a series L I would have expected the tropicalization, however I believe that even in not optimal conditions this lens knows how to work perfectly. rnAf frighteningly quick and precise, with the 3mt limiter becomes even more precise! rnThe advice? YES, a yes as big as a house! If you do not have money to get the IS II or you simply do not need it, give yourself this real L Lens!

Pros: all

Cons: to want to be fuss-free the weight and the minimum focusing distance of 1.5mt.

Opinion: I took a lot of photos with this magnificent goal, I do not think that at the time of his release there was nothing better and still has history, beautiful portraits, brilliant softness and sharpness, wonderful tonality, quick focus, fantastic boken, an object that only pleases you to hold it in hand then when you see the shots it's pure libido! To find a limit in my opinion the minimum focusing distance of 1.5mt, I would have preferred a higher magnifier ratio especially when photographing interns, especially ceremonies. An advice! if you find it a good buy it too because today you buy it at acceptable prices for the item, it seems to have paid me in £ over 2 million! vote 9.9 only for the minimum focusing distance.

Pros: Construction, sharpness already at f2.8, speed and precision MAF, creamy bokeh

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: More than I would call it Warranty. It is very well constructed and with a tactile feedback of solidity and robustness. The rings are wide enough. The weight I find suitable for the construction of the optic, the f4 is too small and light. The AF is fast and accurate, not a comma of a comma except for human error. The pursuit with 5D3 is spectacular. The backlight also works well, even af ??2.8. If I said that the opposite is the lack of IS I would have got the IS version so for what's great.

Pros: Stunning sharpness even at 2.8, excellent construction, accurate and quick f.

Cons: If we just want to put it as a defect then I say weight

Opinion: It has an unbelievable optic, it manages to cling sharply with great fixes with the advantage that this is a zoom, blur and full and soft and I really like it very much, the model laid out would make it more comfortable but from what I can say that I can say it around does not reach the same sharpness, so we say that there are pros and cons in both specimens, the construction is tanked but it is detrimental to the weight that is felt especially if you have to carry it around for long journeys some occasions I did not want to carry it behind. "All in all I'm really pleased with this lens and I think it will be difficult to separate me.

Pros: Construction, colors, sharpness at TA, AF speed and precision

Cons: Weight

Opinion: I bought this optic after a thousand readings, reviews of friends files etc. I was undecided whether to take him or the Tamron 2.8VC. In the end I opted for the red band and am really satisfied. I use it on 5Dmk3 and 6D, coming from a 70-200 f4 smooth which was already a good lens, I was looking for that something beyond the mere luninosity, that is, a more tridimensionality more pronounced, colors and blurred even more beautiful, in short those typical features Of the lenses from the larger apertures, and so it was. For my kind of photos I do not feel the need for the stabilizer, anyway with some caution I managed to shoot even at 1/50 @ 200mm. Solid as a tank (and also heavy). The jump from the f4 version is really immense, I recommend it to everyone, do not ask too many questions is just fantastic, yield will leave you open.

Pros: Blurred dazzling, general sharpness, color and strength

Cons: Weight and lack stabilization (sometimes)

Opinion: This is a really good lens, the zoom range is perfect, does not crush and maintains a quality of almost any length. The correction in post production (cartoon and distortion) are always minimum demonstrating that works to his already at optimum levels. Has full color and warm, I have never encountered significant flaws even in backlight. If you own weight, for those not used to it takes a bit 'to get us out and handle it, especially if it is used for concerts and events where you hold it attached to the body for a long time should get him the limits I would say. Because of this feature is a lens suitable for massive bodies that they know how to compensate for at least part of the weight, the transition from the 700D to 5D mk III for me was significant in terms of portability. Finally the lack of stabilization, especially the more extreme lengths, can create some discomfort but I must say that the hang of learn to manage it and understand that on the stand can give moltissimo.rnPer the digit youlocated in used really worth all the expense. Ah, the autofocus does not miss a beat!

Pros: very good image quality, blurry and beautiful colors, construction quality, speed and precision AF

Cons: It is not weather sealed, slight but noticeable sharpening decline to 200mm in ta Closest focusing distance to focus 1.5m

Opinion: This glass is marketed for more than 20 years. If you just came out was amazing, now it is no longer the top of the top, but it still represents an optimal choice if you do not need the stabilizer. The optical yield is very good already ta at all focal lengths, 200mm except where a slight decline, not dramatic, make it not advisable to use it multiplied on dense aps sensors. Just diaphragm still barely to get sharpness respectable. Colors and blurry are first rate. It is robust and reliable and focheggia fast, safe and quiet. A bit 'limiting the minimum distance of 1.5 m, perhaps the longest for this type of optics. Speed ??and accuracy of fire make it preferable to Tamron and Sigma in sports, where the stabilizer is not needed, as the fire needs to be lightning. Optics as portrait, landscape, sports, all, to the extent that lacks stabilization and therefore must use safety times. In short, the best is IS II, but it costs so much, then, if the stabilizer is not indispensabile, I think he is still there, very reliable mule.

Opinion: 26 # 39; optics must-have in the kit which moreover used on APS-C sees limited or canceled altogether a bit 'of vignetting and distortion around the edges to F / 2.8 and with a sharpness of relief as well as color rendering.

Pros: Sharpness, color, contrast, autofocus, built.

Cons: Anything.

Opinion: A 70-200 "historic", was the first L-series that I bought, I can only speak well. Excellent sharpness even at full aperture, a certain focal has a fabulous performance, a blade. The colors and contrast is excellent. Autofocus is a bomb, fast and accurate. I would say that the selling price of today is hard to find better, for those looking for stabilization can go on the SI II or search for an IS used. Here, if I have to find fault, I would rather say that maybe a tropicalization equal to the later models. For the rest, nothing to say the building remains at the top as we have become accustomed Canon.

Opinion: I bought this beast a few months ago to replace bianchino, that is, a view is exceptional despite being a project vetusto no lenses in fluorite amazes me its sharpness (although it focuses very center lost on the sides), the thing + that I feel, in addition to weight, is the bokeh, great and sublime, great for portraiture, the AF is fast and accurate, especially by setting the selector to 3 meters, especially for the sin tropicalization, with 1D nn I had problems take it even in a little wet, but ok, like many of you I also think the portfolio and sincerely 1000 € of difference with the MKII in my nn are very justified, and it is still a very good lens that will give a lot of emotions.

Pros: Sharpness - Super fast and silent AF - construction already 'having hands immediately feels his professionalism'

Cons: My opinion there are but for one thing ... "Stabilization"

Opinion: I Bought this lens a week ago 'used, paid 680 Euro lens but really immaculate, as it should be treated by a professional, I did not have a Tele and frankly my Budget statement does not throw me on the Canon 70-200 f2.8 is II ( too expensive), for the moment, and then, including reviews and forum ... they sat down in front of me these three lenses (Tamron 70-200 f2.8 Di LD - Tamron 70-200 f2.8 Di VC USD - Canon 70 -200 f2.8 L USM) Structural looking beautiful all three but then I asked the question ... "which of the three? ignores that there are three lenses in really nice because then I found myself a 'moment to try them, then, all three but '... !!!! .... Pero ... !! ... taking into account that: On Juza Canon 70-200 is the first version, it says little sharp ... taking into account that 'Tamron is and is not there a big difference in price and for the price difference I was deciding to take Di LD, and I had decided, by decision but then came the question, "but if I have to keep a Tele not stabilized, that with the proper knowledge, you can cmq be the best, then I'll take the non-IS Canon !!! Cmq is a Canon L-series. To be noted that a friend of mine Is having the 1st vers. , Then I am decided to take the 70-200 and is not comparing them I can testify that the only difference for me is the lack of stabilization and with a steady hand or tripod or mono-foot with the L series is not you can 'have also much, much more '... so for enthusiasts and professionals and non-Canon 70-200 f2.8 L USM highly recommended ....

Pros: Sharpness, bokeh, AF speed, optical quality and construction.

Cons: Weight, lack tropicalization.

Opinion: Maybe it is the lens that I love most, I used it for portraits, landscapes, weddings, wildlife, sports, outdoor and indoor. Despite being a project relatively dated, it is still very valid and I find it a great alternative to the incomparable IS II. Over the years it has proven extremely reliable and robust. It is a very sharp lens even at room temperature, but the best results are obtained by closing two stops. The AF is very fast and very accurate, the building reflects the best philosophy series, L (a tank). Combined with the Canon 500D close-up lens macro gives excellent quality, putting an extender you can also reach the 1:1 ratio. Unfortunately, it is heavy and should remove the ring of the tripod when not in use (it weighs about a pound!), Or at least turn it to improve the ergonomics use freehand.

Pros: Sharpness, AF speed and precision, colors, ring, robustness, lens hood

Cons: None

Opinion: Taken for sports photography (but not only) and used with an "old" APS-C (30d). Speed ??and accuracy of focusing amazing, I had the opportunity to photograph with light is not optimal and the results have been very satisfactory. The weight is not a big problem as I had read in various forums. The objective is bilanciatissimo and not overly tired. However, there is always the option to mount it on the monopod. I mounted a filter protector of the Hoya Pro 1 and the definition and remained the same. Absolutely recommended.

Pros: Sharpness, f/2.8 at all focal lengths, L-series construction

Cons: Lack Tropicalisation, project now a little dated, a little heavy

Opinion: I preferred this version to the stabilized IS II only for the price, while I preferred the Sigma stabilized to a matter of feeling and why I need to events and situations in which subjects are moving and therefore I would not have taken advantage of is the very . rnNonostante the lack of stabilizer images can perfectly sharp and in focus, you just need a little practice, if you are in optimal lighting conditions, however, also take home portraits really fantastic and, for those who are satisfied, you can catch quite well butterflies and various insects.

Pros: Autofocus speed-strength-sharpness and stunning color

Cons: tropicalization

Opinion: I purchased it used in December at a price of 750 euro in excellent condition, like new. From the day I got it I'm loving it more and more, having tried even in critical light did not make me ever feel the lack of the stabilizer, combined with my Canon 7d allowed me to shoot up to 1/60 in accordance with good risultati.Autofocus fast and precise for the sport and birdlife (at short distances), great for portraits and landscapes. Recommended for those who want a tele-zoom standards of professional quality at a good price.

Pros: Construction, optics, sharpness, 2.8 fast making kelp Boken

Cons: tropicalization.

Opinion: Bought by choice not by budget, in my opinion is more clear in the middle, version II. Piotrowska price when you consider the wide focal range, I use it with 7d and 550d and has an excellent performance for portraits and landscapes sport . Do not you feel absolutely lack of stabilization, just knowing how to use the camera a bit and have a steady hand and allows you to take sharp even at 1/60 of a second. Short for birds and not excellent but good with the 2x multiplier at 1.4 x. Highly recommended to those who want to start doing professional work. for me a 9 because perfection does not exist.

Pros: robust lens, aperture f 2.8 for all focal lengths, sharpness and extraordinary plasticity, ring stand is essential for some shots that came with the lens hood

Cons: missing tropicalization

Opinion: I bought the lens used to 700 € from a photographer, and is in very good condition, considering the price and my budget I do not have that escape. I used this lens on a Canon 5 D in a triathlon and I have to say that it is very versatile as possible. Despite his recent project is not a lens of the quality and exceptional durability. A must have in the kit of the photographer.

Pros: Construction typical of the series L - f 2.8 constant - extraordinary sharpness - ring stand included

Cons: lack of IS, lack of tropicalizzione

Opinion: I bought this lens several years ago and I fell in love immediately. The choice of the non-stabilized version was obliged, given the difference in cost (at the time did not do it again for work), and some say it is still sharper than the same with IS (first version). In all these years I have NEVER felt the lack of stabilization, I used it to tens of thousands of shots in skating and dance, in poor light conditions, always stand on the stage and in the halls of the monopod head Joy-stick 222. AF precise, made spectacular at all focal lengths and all apertures. I use it often combined with TC1.4x to recover a little 'focus on FF, the sharpness is always great and the AF on standard bodies 1 remains valid. Combined with the 2x TC (first version) the sharpness drops dramatically, as is normal for a zoom.
