A great lens just got better
I did a lens test between the new 70-200 f/2.8L IS against the original (my coworker's lens) and my own 200mm f/2.8L II. The 70-200 f/2.8L IS II was sharper than the 70-200 f/2.8L IS on 200mm @ f/2.8, and was just as sharp as the 200mm f/2.8L II on 200mm @ f/2.8. This lens is definitely a worthy upgrade to the original 70-200 f/2.8L IS, and is a must have lens for all photography enthusiasts and professionals. I photograph a wide range including wildlife, shooting (firearms) sports, and am...

BEST ZOOM LENS EVER!!
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST ZOOM LENS I HAVE EVER USED. THE IMAGES WERE ALL SUPER SHARP. I ALSO OWNED A 200mmf/2 AND THE 70-200 IS NEARLY AS SHARP AS THE 200mmf/2! EXCCELLENT FOR TRACKING EAGLES AND NICE 4STOP IS. [...] ITS THE BEST ZOOM LENS I EVER USED
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM AF telephoto zoom lens is one of the best and most advanced lenses in the Canon L lens series. It’s highly recommended for both advanced hobbyists and professional photographers for its wide aperture and telephoto zoom. The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L works with Canon DSLRs with full-frame and smaller APS-sized sensors. Given its constant wide diameter and zooming capabilities, it’s expectedly heavy and bulky but is highly acclaimed for its fast autofocus performance and ability to deliver the highest-quality images. At f/2.8L, photographers can easily separate the subject from the background with a very shallow depth of field, stunning sharpness, and attractive blurring of out-of-focus areas (bokeh).
This outstanding Canon lens is made up of fluorite and five ultra-low dispersion (UD) glass elements that minimize lens aberrations to ensure you get only high-contrast and crisp images. Its two-mode image stabilization (IS) system even adds up to four exposure stops to help you achieve properly exposed images even in handheld, low-light shooting situations. Thanks to its focus range limiter and ultrasonic motor, quick AF is easily achieved at unbelievable speeds.
Outstanding and Improved Optics
With the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L’s one element of fluorite and five lens elements of ultra-low dispersion (UD), lens aberrations and image distortion are reduced to effortlessly achieve super sharp, striking, and precise images. This Canon lens also offers two Image Stabilization (IS) modes: Mode 1 for taking still photos and Mode 2 that smoothens those unnecessary up and down motions while tracking a moving subject. Thanks to its ultrasonic autofocus motor (AF USM), you can focus on your subjects faster and more quietly. If you wish to focus on your subject manually even in AF mode, you can easily use the manual focus override. The focus range limiter allows you to set the range of focus distances (the shortest being 3.9’ or 4.9 ft. to infinity for convenient close range shooting) and shorten your focusing time during every shot. The Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L is definitely a smart choice for both action/sports and still life photography.
What makes the 70-200mm f/2.8L Canon lens more appealing, however, is its perfectly round and bright aperture hole. With the lens allowing much more light into the sensor at any zoom setting, you get the most stunning images with pleasing bokeh (background and foreground blurring) that will make you the envy of other photographers.
Versatile and Sturdy
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS is specifically built for use in even the most challenging environments. Like all Canon L lenses, this telephoto resists dust and moisture. It’s lighter than other wide-diameter zoom lenses in the market, but its build quality isn’t compromised.
With the excellent features of this Canon L lens, it’s highly recommended for shooting close-ups, landscapes, subjects in low light and at nighttime, macro, time-lapse, indoors and outdoors, portraits, action/sports, travel, wildlife, events, and weddings. No matter what your passion or profession is, you’ll find the Canon 70-200mm F/2.8L IS to be the perfect lens for your Canon digital SLR.
