Why you should buy this lens!
First of all it took me a few months to decide on what lens to buy because I did so much research. My choices were between Canon 70-200L 4, 70-200L 2.8 and the 70-200L 2.8IS. After much investigation I opted not to buy the 4.0 because I knew that I would be shooting in dim lights and needed the 2.8. So to save money I bought the 2.8 NON IS. The lens is great and I travelled to Utah with it. All was great until I tried to shoot a deer at full zoom. Every one came out blurry and could not use. Apart...

The Canon EF 70-200mm IS is an awesome tack sharp lens!,
I shoot with a Canon 20D and have used the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 III USM lens. I've always noticed the limitations of this lens when shooting amateur softball. I reviewed the lens lineup at the Canon website and decided on the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM Lens. The 100-400mm is a great lens, but it can be a bit soft.For that reason I decided to add the Canon EF 70-200mm 2.8/f IS USM telephoto zoom lens to my lens collection.This is a serious lens meant for serious photographers. Being...

Superb lens
It's a bit heavy but a superb lens.Interior construction has quite a bit of plastic however which is a bit of a concern.I've dropped one onto hard packed dirt/soccer field w/no damage...so it's pretty sturdy :)If you can live with 1 stop less light consider the newly released 70-200 f/4 L IS.This is the new 70-200 f/4 with IS from Canon and will save you some weight if that is a concern....

Worth It's Weight In Gold
Had the 70-200 f/4 and loved it to pieces with a D60, and now with a 1D MKII, but sold the 4.0 in order to pay for a 35-350, which is my work horse. Due to the push and pull feature however, the 35-350 gets dusty quick in good ol' Montana land, so it has to go in for cleanings every once in a while, and the f/stop isn't always desirable for certain situations.The 70-200 F/2.8 is amazing. The twist zoom is a little close to the camera, so it takes some twisting of the wrist to get it where you need...

Just do it!
You know, I researched this lens again and again. I put it on my Christmas list. A year and a half went by and I finally just bought it.My gosh, everything is true! This is one of the world's great lenses. What a piece of glass. With the image stabilization I can take candid shots in a candlelit restaurant using available light.The lens is magical. It captures the soul of its subjects. Nature photography is phenomenal. This is an incredible tool that will take you to a new level.Just do it! No regrets...
