Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Pro Reviews

ephotozine‘s review Edit

During testing this les proved itself capable of producing sharp, contrasty images at all apertures and focal lengths. Besides that, it is built like a tank, focuses quickly and the four stop image stabiliser does a superb job of ironing out the effects of a few too many cups of coffee.

slrgear‘s review Edit

This one's fairly straightforward: if you were looking, you probably were already thinking about getting this lens, and there's nothing to fault it. If absolutely need image stabilization and the sharpest, best image quality in a 70-200mm zoom, it's money well-spent. However, if you are less picky, you probably won't be disappointed with the tried-and-true original version of the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS, either. Canon's made some impressive fine-tuning adjustments to the lens, but unlike other manufacturers, no one was really complaining about the original version of the lens so much that it needed a refresh.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

Of all the pro lenses the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II is probably the most popular. The optics have been redesigned, autofocus speed increased, and the weatherproofing made more sturdy. Even the IS has been upgraded. The only handling confusion is with the four switches on the left of the barrel. All are useful, but their similarity means it is hard to locate the one you want without looking. Handling and performance was simply outstanding. The most impressive feature is the Image Stabilizer – it was possible to get sharp handheld shots at 1/10 sec. Optical quality is also impressive. Resolution is excellent even when used at its maximum aperture, and there's minimal colour fringing.

The-Digital-Picture‘s review Edit

I consider the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM Lens to be the second most important lens in my kit with the first being a more general purpose lens in focal length range. It is not an inexpensive lens, but it is very worth the price in my opinion - and very worthy of its red ring. While this is a completely pro-grade lens, you definitely do not have to be a pro to appreciate it.
