The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM lens is a wide-aperture telephoto zoom designed for professional photographers and advanced hobbyists. It's one of the most popular telephoto zoom lenses in the world. Designed to work with both full-frame and APS sensor Canon DSLRs, this fast autofocus high-performance lens includes four UD glass elements, which promote contrasty, accurate images. The wide constant f/2.8 maximum aperture provides shallow depth of field so the subject is better separated from the background. A focus range limiter helps reduce focus time. Its ultrasonic motor focuses quickly and smoothly. Minimum focus is 4.9 feet. A removable tripod collar is included.  What you should know about this lens:  &#149; Compatible with tele extenders: You can increase this lens's range--The lens is compatible with the Canon Extenders EF 1.4x and 2x II.  &#149; Stellar image quality: Image quality is comparable to that usually achieved with a prime lens thanks to four UD glass elements that correct chromatic aberrations.  &#149; Wide aperture: The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture makes the camera suitable for low-light use.

I've had my 70-200 for several years now.  It is not only incredibly sharp, but the way it processes light is just better tha other lenses, even other Canon 2.8 lenses.  I shoot a lot of different things and the versatility of the lens has made it my favorite, sen for landscapes...I may only be getting a segment of the landscape but the lens brings you into it.  You aren't standing a mile away and taking in the scene, you are there, you are intimate with fine details.  It's a great lens for shooting motorcycles on the highway.  It's a fantastic lens for wildlife.  I can photograph comets and the milky way (okay, maybe not the whole thing, but a very well defined slice of it. Right now I am using the lens to tell a story with model horses and dolls...a rather involved story shot mostly outdoors, using the lens to bring the viewer into certain aspects of each image, alternating between tight shots and landscapes, and always being able to subordinate the foreground and background to the subject.  The lens is always on the camera and always with me.

Love this lens

MY FAVORITE LENS... my go to... Great Lens !

Great Go To Lens

LOVE LOVE LOVE this lens... my go to for most everything...

LENS LOVE

I love this lens that I'm using with an EOS 77D. It's fast, light and very responsive.

70-200 2.8

Great Lens

I have been a photographer for over 20 years I believe it's one of the best there is I don't use the image stableizer but don't need it

Great lens

One review here claims the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM is at the end of its life and is no longer repaired by Canon CPS. The same review states the point value for CPS is 0. I was just on the CPS website. The lens can still be maintained and repaired by CPS, and it is worth 8 points toward CPS memebership as of 12/3/2019. Caveats: 1. Points and service may depend on the serial number of your lens. This lens model has been around a very long time. 2. The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM (not the II or III version) is no longer sold new, nor supported for repair, and is 0 points. The II version, no longer sold new, is still supported.

As of 12/3/2019, new lens still 8 points and supported by CPS

Excellent sports lens for use in low light and high shutter speeds.  If you're shooting sports this lens is perfect.  No need to purchase the more expensive image stabilized veraion unless youre shooting low shutter speeds.

Excellent action or sports lens

Best lens I ever owned. Image quality way superior from the Tamron telephoto lens I tried before it. Not so bulky as well and a real boost in telephoto reach. Price was definitely higher than Tamron but quality far superior and more refined. Only drawback is that there is no specific mode with image stabilization which helps with fast moving subjects.

Fantastic versatile telephoto zoom.

Good value when I bundled and their customer service was exceptional

You won me over

Thers not enough I can say about this lens. I use it all the time. I find it to be a perfect lens for just about everything. It goes with me to the field without exception. Never leave home without it.

Canon 70-200 f/2.8

I absolutely love this lens. Photos and video are clear as day and the af is out of this world. A great product that highly recommend.

Great Glass

In the military and I use the lens during all our training exercises on the field. It’s exactly what we need.

Combat Cameraman

Took several photos as soon as it came. Pictures came out super sharp, very clean and clear. I love this investment. Can’t wait to shoot sporting events with this!!!

Clean and Sharp

This lens is AMAZING. Wish I had bought it way sooner.

EF_70

I bought this on 3/22/19 and returned it on 4/2/19. I shoot bird pictures and them in flight and the Lens just did not make the mark for me. Most all my pictures were blurred, very poor quality. I shoot with the 70-300 f4-5.6 IS II USM, the pictures are very sharped. I deleted all the pictures after they were downloaded from the new Lens, sorry I don't have any to share with you.

Didn't like it.

Love it

I absolutely love this lens. So much better than a kit lens for sure. Even though it is refurbished it's perfect it works just like a brand new lens. It will work great for weddings.

I shopped around for the best price I could find and  I knew exactly what I wanted and Adorama delivered. I am now enjoying taking photos of my granddaughter’s softball games and looking forward to basketball season.

Good quality and best prices

Great service. easy to use website and check out

Great Service

This 70-200mm L 2.8 Non IS ii works perfect for video. We don't need the IS since the Sony A7sii already comes with Steady Shot, also since we shoot video, we're always on stabilizers (tripod / monopod). This helps us run and gun without the extra weight and cost of the IS model.

Works perfect for video

My Canon 70-200 F 2.8 lens arrived faster than I anticipated.  Great service. Good price

I'm so happy with this less.
I do alot corporate Videos and it just perfect for big rooms event and low lights situations.

I do recommend.

Great Product

I've had this lens for over 2 years and it's versatile, fast and my go to for both motorsports and outdoor photography. The fast, one handed zoom is smooth, allowing me to capture more action shots!

Tremendous value

I debated purchasing the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, but could not justify the difference in price. If you are not shooting video, this lens is perfect! Such a creative lens. Second shot a wedding with this for the first time and the perspective was amazing! Love the sharp image quality. Have not uploaded those images to my computer yet or I would post one here!

Love this lens!

According to Canon Professional Services. This lens is at the end of it's life and they will not have the parts to fix it. You buy it, you break it, say goodbye to it. 
Disappointing that they are still selling it. I LOVE this lens. GREAT lens and workhorse for me for many years. Still works flawlessly, I wouldn't buy it now since it's not repairable by Canon. Just thought fellow photographers should now. If you don't care about breakage or have a great insurance policy, go for it. Otherwise save up and move to the 70-200mm 2.8 II. If you are a CPS member this lens now provides 0 points.

Don't BUY it!

I waited a long time to buy the 2.8.   I have been using the 4 for a long time, but wanted the narrower depth of field.  This model does not have the IS feature, but I will normally use it on a tripod, so I am fine with that.  If you are upgrading from the 4.0, be aware that this lens is much bigger and heavier.  I "knew" that, but I was still surprised by the difference.  I will probably still use the 4.0 for much of my hand held work.

Worth the money

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM is some great glass. I use it on my full-frame camera for portraits, with wonderful, tack-sharp results. Definitely a great lens to have in your bag... my only regret is not buying the IS version.

my "go-to" lens

I haven't tried all the accessories that came with the lens yet, but the lens is everything I hoped for.   I have been saving for it for a long time and it was worth the wait!  So far, I have done mostly video.

It's everything I hope for

Excellent lens. I am really enjoying it. The adorama ordering process was flawless.
