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 photography, but it can have its say in almost any photographic genre 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 !
