This powerful Canon lens offers the same popular focal range of 70-200mm, albeit with a smaller maximum aperture of f\/4. Nonetheless, this second generation lens, which was released in 2018 (check out wedding photographer Vanessa Joy’s hands-on review<\/a>), features an upgraded optical design and is easily one of the best 70-200mm lenses out there for Canon cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n

For one, it bears more refined coatings to eliminate ghosting and flaring, plus fluorine coatings that protect the lens from grease and moisture. With regard to image quality, sharper images are ensured with the expert assistance of Canon\u2019s very own optical image stabilizer with up to 5 stops of vibration reduction. Finally, it\u2019s about half the weight of most 70-200mm f\/2.8 lenses, which makes traveling and handling so much more convenient.<\/span><\/p>\n
