a fine telephoto July 26, 2010
M.Yatcko (lakewood OH)
I had one of these lenses ten years ago when I worked for a newspaper. It wasn't an f/2.8 L II, it was the version before. This one is so much nicer. It has auto focus. I don't believe my other did. I wasn't shooting digital. It took great shots though. Sporting events were were cool to shoot with that, and I'm sure this lenses. I really dug shooting high school basketball and volleyball games. The ability to "get in close" to the action is a real plus with this lens. The only fault is no is. But I guess the money issue is the big concern. But like I said, this is a number one lens.
Amazing Lens For The Price June 14, 2010
Olga Cher.
I rented this lens for use with my Canon XSI (450D) and it was flawless. The images I got from this lens were not comparable to the ones I get from any of my EF-S lenses. The build quality is superb as well as the Auto-Focus. The Auto-Focus was always there when i needed it, since it has USM auto focus its extremely fast. The colors from the images were beautiful they had excellent saturation and contrast. I used this lens for Track, Tennis and Portraits and it performed extremely well. The only thing that I did not like about the lens was NO IS but that can be expected from its very affordable price.
Canon ef 200mm f/2.8L II December 18, 2009

The only reason I have this lens is better picture quality than any zoom in this price range and more. Forget the entire Canon "non L" zooms. They produce muddy non vivid pictures. With the good lighting condition zooms are fine, but any $200 camera can make OK pictures in the good day.
And there is something more to this L lens; I mean better consistency of sharpness and skin colors. You know those nasty reddish skin colors. Not with this lens. Less work on Photoshop.
Not as convenient as zoom?
OK. The next level is.... white Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS USM.
F/2 and IS (Image Stabilization) versus f/2.8 and no image stabilization.
Sharpness level is the same. Any price difference? You check yourself, you will be surpized.
Great telephoto, good price. December 8, 2009

It's an L, so there's not a lot to say that hasn't been said. It's sharp, fast, and still looks great even when extended to 400mm with the EF 2x Extender. I'm very happy with this purchase.
great lens June 15, 2009

Great value. This lens is a great alternative to the 70-200mm, its cheaper and lighter, and produces amazing colors. Bought it used, but you couldn't tell, looks brand new.
