Pros: Lightweight, stabilized, fast and quiet autofocus

Cons: mine sometimes at 300mm you have to wake up the autofocus, closing the focal length a little

Opinion: Rather bright, contained and light optics, it has a precise and fast autofocus. which in case of low light becomes less fast. But I think almost every lens has this problem.. 9 slats and a nice blur at TA . The quality of the lenses is truly remarkable. I have an old canon ef 100 400 is USM L (first type) and it doesn't have the sharpness of this 70 300.. I'm not crazy about the digital display. while stabilization is very effective ! It is not tropicalized and dust has an easy life to enter, it takes care.

Pros: Value for money tending to infinity

Cons: In low light, autofocus performance decreases in terms of speed. Expensive but beautiful original lens hood.

Opinion: Objective, in my humble opinion, simply extraordinary! At all focal lengths and at all distances of MAF, even if at infinity it drops a little. Remarkable speed and accuracy of MAF. Absolute silence of both the autofocus and the stabilizer. Excellent assemblies, externally in plastic materials but of high quality. I've owned it for a few years now and never disappointed.

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.
