Pros: Zoom, Weight, Stabilizer

Cons: Image quality not excellent, Stabilizer not excellent in the 4 stops declared

Opinion: Lens rented for 4 days in conjunction with the 135mm 2.0 L to evaluate the purchase of a telephoto lens. I was surprised by the weight and softness of the zoom. It's definitely a good goal, but it's not for me. The model I rented (mounted on a 5d Mark III) lost so much image quality from 100mm upwards, which made it almost unusable. Good stabilizer in the first focal lengths, then almost non-existent (always in my model). Good speed, although not a splinter. Lens that I recommend but bearing in mind that (in my opinion) you give up image quality. It depends on what one shoots with telephoto lenses and at which length he shoots more!

Pros: incredible sharpness, fast, quality almost from L series

Cons: for now none

Opinion: I have been using it for about 3 years and it is giving me some beautiful photos, we are talking about a 700 € lens that turned out to be really incredible for photos and even videos I had in the past the bianchino 70 200 f4 is L also very sharp I did not notice differences in sharpness between one and the other only changes the brightness compared with other lenses value for money and 'really unbeatable, I think I'll keep it for a long time

Pros: All for the price! Unreachable if you don't need an L series.

Cons: Nothing at all, maybe just the first hook of the stabilizer.

Opinion: Reluctant to make reviews... but here it is a must. Now someone will ling me but... surpasses in image quality the smooth white 70-200L f4! I confirm it as I had it and overused it but on APS-C it suffered from the complexity of the lenses. Especially at night and with very marked reflections. QUi we are instead on FF 5D mkii goes great. On 7D this lens is sewn. It has only a slight drop at the edges that in reality I can say that it is minimal and that it is also the fault of the refraction-cleaning of the air when on APS-C it reaches 480mm. A small flaw (always for the price of the lens) perhaps only the first hook of the stabilizer. A Tamron equal focal the stabilizer starts immediately... Here it has a micro lag before you decide whether to correct vertically or orrizanthally. But when he takes (Anyway right away) it's like having a tripod. 4 safe stops. 480mm at 1/60 holds up very well. So if you don't have to stress the lens and use it as a pro L (born to be smunti) is for you. If you need safety, tropicalization, metal,... etc... then go to L series. For the rest I repeat for myself that I have had many lenses and for the major L series it is unattainable for price performance. Found used at 300e with warranty I have not yet removed it from the 7D for 1 year. I had the bianchino that I was moltipliavo with extender 1,4mkII but ... we are not even far away. The 2xII idem... DeIffrazione, drop on 5Dmkii and 1dsmkii. Then promoted to safe grade 9.

Pros: Sharpness, blurry thanks to the 9 slats, contained chromatic aberrations, stunning focus, f4 from 70 to 75mm, lock button, data display, protective glass in the bayonet, compactness, robustness and design. Great value for money.

Cons: Not tropicalized, slightly soft and with some aberration around f4 and 70mm, but it is not even considered a counter to the price at which it is sold, and perhaps the stabilizer, good but not great, at least my specimen does not reach 4 stops.

Opinion: Lens with excellent value for money, compact and light, which despite the focal opening does not excel promises sharp photos and always in focus. Not tropicalized but with protective glass in the bayonet. Yield quite constant from 70 to 300mm, even at the edges. I use it on APS-C for birdlife, planes, sports, 70mm portraits and f4, and I'm pleasantly amazed. At this price you cannot ask for better!

Pros: Light, sharp even at the maximum opening at 300mm.

Cons: Price of the lampshade exaggeratedly high...

Opinion: Taken recently to lighten my old kit. With the 80D it works perfectly. Sharpness in addition to expectations and in my opinion, at even focal (but also with cropping...) higher than the various 100-400 and 120-400 Sigma. Autofocus very fast and excellent stabilizer. Given the reduced weight, I recommend it to those who do dynamic hunting, for hiking in the mountains trips etc...
