    • Users of newer Canon bodies, look no further
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I'm not a professional photographer in that I don't make money doing photography. However, I believe I know a thing or two about the subject that has been a passion of mine since I was first introduced in middle school (yes, we used darkrooms) and many classes/books later. I'm a dad who wants to take pics of my little boys, some family events, and vacations - and I want those pics to be phenomenal. If you're reading this, I assume you've already learned the basics of this lens and where it fits in the overall Canon L-series lineup. So, as you already know, this lens is absolutely brilliant for portraits and sports, especially indoor sports and even weddings. I also assume that you are struggling between this and the 40% more pricey version with IS. But prior to getting my new bodies, I'd never been tempted to write a review being that so much has already been said. So what can I add? Short answer is I can "shed some light" (sorry) on why IS is less necessary on the newer bodies. I can say (having owned/owning earlier generation Canon bodies) that between this and the more expensive II IS version, that now more than ever before, the additional cost of the IS version is more superflous than ever on the newer Canon bodies. For reference I own a 70D and 6D, and also my older 5DMark II and 40D. In upgrading, I elected against the 5D Mark III because of the lack of Wifi/GPS (remember why I shoot), and some other nits, but that's another review altogether. I also elected against the IS version of this lens a while back previously because I felt I didn't need it - I often turn it off on other lenses to eek out that slightly last bit of, admittedly subjective, focus "oopmh" and "sharpness". To be honest, I can't think of when I ever actually turn it on. Cost was not a consideration whatsoever, for me at least. It just seemed like a pointless "feature" that would add unnecessary heft and slightly soften images. However, with the revised Mark II version of this lense, I began to read that maybe the image quality of the II IS version was a smidge better - and that's what I'll open up the wallet for. So, before selling my non-IS version on eBay, I decided to try it out on the newer bodies and I must say that - THIS IS NOW THE BEST VALUE/MOST USEFUL CANON ZOOM LENS PERIOD. FULL STOP!!! Shhhhh don't tell to many people before the price skyrockets or Canon stops making these puppies!! Remember, IS doesn't stop "shake." If your hands are shaky, all the IS in the world won't help you. IS is to assist in reducing motion blur which usually results from a shutter that is open too long. I don't mean to insult most of you who already know this or to portray myself as an "expert." How does one avoid using a slower shutter? Increase light. Enter the newer bodies. The 6D, for example, is able to autofocus in super low light conditions (down to -3 EV for those interested. 5DMarkIII is a full stop higher FYI). This is a gamechanger because the low-light stability that the IS offers is even less of an issue now. These newer bodies also have a phenomenal ISO range, with much-improved lower-noise/higher ISOs. I never had a problem with this lens before, particularly with sports and well lit indoor events. But now, I'm increasingly confident using this lens in lower-light situations with outstanding results and without a tripod/monopod (of course especially with a monopod, this lens is actually slightly sharper than the IS version, but again, others have noted that). But with the 70D, I think this lens really goes to a level to where I feel that, at current prices, buying this lens is robbery. Like, I feel that someone at Canon is asleep at the pricing wheel. This lens is a gift!! First, there's the 1.6 crop factor which extend the focal length of this camera to 112-320mm. Folks, that's a pretty darn useful range to capture at f2.8!! And you get the same high quality/low-noise ISO technology. An ISO of 1600 is actually quite reasonable "low noise" ISO on the 70D - above that, for me at least, is meh. But at two stops of light above 400, you can imagine what options this gives you for lower light settings without a speedlite! More light equals faster speeds equals less room for "shake." Now add the 7fps continuous shooting and the fast autofocus (a smaller factor to reduce shake) and you have a monster here. So, to be fully candid, the only situations now that one would need the IS are situations where you are likely to need a tripod/monopod anyway, thus rendering the IS totally moot. This is such a great lens. And it bears repeating, but you already know, the bokeh is out of this world wide open. But drop down a stop and you get exquisitely sharp images. What more can you ask for???!! So if you've come this far, do not think twice about buying this lens, especially if you have a newer body (although, I still think this was my best lens on the prior bodies). It's a NO-BRAINER over the IS version where the IS feature is the driver. I cannot speak extensively on the purported image quality improvement in the Mark II version - I haven't had the motivation to try because my images are killer with this lens. So if that's your motivation, perhaps you should test that out. FYI Other lenses: 24-105mm 4.0-5.6 IS 85mm 1.2 17-55mm EFS IS lens (another star, FYI) 100-400mm 4.0-5.6 IS ... show more

    • Truly a great lens!
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
It took me months to finally pull the trigger and order the Canon 70-200 f2.8L lens. I couldn't decide between the Canon f4, 2.8, Tamron and Sigma models. I couldn't decide if I should go with the f4 or Tamron to save some money or try a Sigma with OS for a few hundred more. I knew for sure though that I couldn't afford, let alone justify, the Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS II. I read all the reviews until I couldn't see straight. I finally decided for the Canon f2.8L without the IS. It was faster than the f4 version and focused faster than the Tamron. It didn't have the optical stabilization of the Sigma but I heard the Canon was sharper. I can't verify that but I know my copy is nice and sharp. When the lens arrived I couldn't wait to try it out. It is definitely a hefty lens! It took a while to get used to the weight. The lens just feels solid and the build quality is what you would expect from an L lens. I had buyers remorse and thought I should have waited and saved some more for the IS II. I wasn't getting very sharp photos in low light. It turns out I just needed a little more time with the lens. I needed to get used to weight of the lens and use proper hand holding technique and sufficient ISO and shutter speeds. I finally saw how well I could shoot with the lens when I took some photos at my cousin's wedding in an awfully lit church. The pictures I took(no flash, using natural light) were brighter than the official photographer who was using a Sigma 70-200 OS and flash. Overall I'm very happy with the lens. I believe this lens requires more attention to proper technique and settings than the Canon f2.8L IS II. That lens is more forgiving and flexible. To all those photographers on the fence about getting a non IS lens, this lens is sharp and fast. It will make you learn to be a better photographer. ... show more

    • Forget the version II of this lens, this will do the trick and more.
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Don't worry that it's not the mark II of this lens. Even without the image stabilization, this is easily the best lens I've ever had the pleasure in owning. I picked up this lens to take sports photographs for my old high school in the beginning of the 2017-18 school year. I definitely wanted to get Canon's newer version, you know, the big almost two grand lens with the image stabilization and improved focus, whatever. But with a deadline, I had to grab what I could, worried that I would have to settle for a lens that's 15 years old (According to Amazon?). Luckily for me, I didn't have to settle, this lens outperformed on any person I put in front of it. At f/2.8 it lets so much light in that on a Canon 6D I never had to worry if (because of the lack of image stabilization) if my shots were slightly blurred from my movement. I could run 1/200 second, f/2.8 and auto ISO (limited to 50-6400) and I had perfect depth of field, focus, and almost no noise, and any noise I did have at 6400 I could easily correct in post with the 6D's high ISO capabilities. (I can't share images unfortunately, otherwise I would!) My only complaint and it has nothing to do with the lens itself, just me as a human being. This lens is heavy, do get a strap if you plan on raising it, putting it down, and raising it again like I constantly had to do. You only make that mistake once and you will feel it the next day. Conveniently, this lens comes with its own bag, which is totally appreciated if you plan on switching lenses out and not wanting to run the risk of scratching it (as it is quite a big one). It also comes with a lens hood, again, totally appreciated and not only looks much more professional, but with stadium lights shining above, it's entirely useful and does a great job. ... show more
