slrgear‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The 200mm ƒ/2L IS USM is definitely a lens designed for the ''where price is no object'' crowd. Tack-sharp, with no visible chromatic aberration or distortion, the only issue (if it is indeed an issue) would be some corner shading when shot wide-open on a full-frame body. But for the ''style'' of image that it produces: sharp subjects with creamy, dreamy out-of-focus backgrounds, the 200mm ƒ/2L IS USM is a lens that will consistently exceed expectations.

If you are not used to using a lens of this size and weight, expect a short learning curve. The shallow DOF (Depth of Field) at f/2 also requires good technique to insure sharply focused subjects at shorter distances. But the image quality far outweighs any of these minor challenges. This is one of those lenses that can set you and your work apart from the competition. The price is harder to swallow.
