Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras, White - 2309C002

I bought this Lense some years back, great performance compared to its 2.8, it seems to be sharper and from my point of view, better than its faster sister! High quality, affordable and performs well with EF 2X II extender. the only complain I have is the internal rubber seal for extender and external rubber grip for Lense do oxidize and have to be cleaned! I must add that cloning the internal part worries me leaving debris behind on the Lense

Fast and quiet, very sharp focus. Feels lighter than I thought it would. This is a good thing because most of my work is with the camera hand held.

Having the second focus takes a little getting used to. The front one seems touchy so it would move when I was taking pictures. Spent the weekend shooting wildlife and think I have the hang of it now.

Lens is great for wildlife photos. I’ve taken photos of wildlife in AK as well as the sunset & both have come out great!

Pretty amazing lens. Put it in my Aquatech Elite II housing and swam outside to get some pretty awesome shots with the longer port.

I have arthritis in my hands so I was concerned about the weight of the lens. I had nothing to fear. No problem at all with the weight though I would not advise anyone with the same problem to go for a heavier lens than this one.The photos are coming out so much crisper with this lens.very happy with this purchase.

Great lens, took my photography to another level. Not a professional, but images come out looking Professional!

Absolutely the sharpest telephoto lens I’ve ever used. Focus is incredibly fast and spot on.

Very nice lens. Wish I would’ve bought this months ago.

I was dreaming to have this lens and finally saved up to it. I'm having really good pictures with this.

I just got this lens, I have taken some nature shoots, sport shoots, and portrait, all have exceeded my expectations! I am still learning this lens and the 6DMarkII I just bought but if you are indoubt go for it this is a huge step up : 0 ) A big plus in even higher ISO's the resolution is very sharp.

I have used the non-stabilized 70-200 f4 lens for several years. It is an excellent lens for certain. Given that my mind’s eye prefers telephoto photographs over wide angle shots, this older 70-200 spent a lot of time mounted to my camera. The lack of IS was not too hindering for my photography outside, although I did realize limitations from time to time. When shooting indoors, I found the lens less than ideal. In the summer of 2018 I decided to buy a new lens that would allow me to have the telephoto view I prefer, with better indoor performance. I looked at all the Canon L lenses in the telephoto zoom range. When I visited my camera store I held all the models mounted to my 7D. While the online reviews all talk about weight as an issue to consider, I never gave it too much thought. However, this visit to the store was an eye opener. I walked in planning to get the f2.8 IS version. But holding the lens and camera at the counter, the only impression I had was the significant mass the faster lenses. Given that they felt heavy inside at the camera counter, how would these lenses be when walking in the woods or at an all-day event? At that point I decided to go for this lens instead. It was a good decision! I have owned the lens for about seven months now. I use this lens indoors much more than I ever used my non-stabilized version. The image stabilization is truly fantastic! Additionally, I do see an enhancement in the image quality as well. But the real beauty of this lens comes through when traveling or shooting out of doors. My first outing with the lens ended up being an “unexpected” five-mile hike on a nature trail. While enjoying photographing along the trail, I lost track of the distance I had walked into the very remove area. But it was the return walk to the trail-head that I realized I had made the right choice. Weight does matter! The lens is always attached to my camera. It is reattached immediately after finishing using one of my other lenses. I am very happy that I chose the lighter, handier, more capable stabilization of the EFS 70-200 f4 IS II L.

I bought this lens mainly because many pros recommend this as quite possibly the best Canon lens ever produced. I'm slowly building up a pro lens collection for stock photos. I use this one for wildlife and it does a fantastic job. I put it on my Canon 77D, keep in mind that this and any other 'Rebel' line camera has a crop factor of 1.6. So the actual zoom with this lens and Canon 77D body is 112 mm to 320 mm. I wish I would have known this when I bought my camera with three lenses because my 24 mm lens for vlogs actually turns out to be a 38 mm lens, too zoomed in for my small space. I actually have to go with a 10-18 mm lens for close up vlogs, but I'm glad I have the extra zoom with the 70-200 mm, I can really get up close and personal with the wildlife photos! If I ever switched to a full frame camera I think I would miss the extra zoom.

I bought this to replace an older version and I am pretty happy with it. The lens does NOT come with a collar to mount to a tripod which is a big hassle to have to buy one separately.

I owned version 1. I used it a lot and liked it a lot. But it does have weaknesses, notably it sometimes struggles to accurately focus on small objects. I didn't plan to upgrade until Canon sent me a discount. I have used version II for 3 months and have to say it's better than expected. Every image is extremely sharp. Color and contrast look improved too. I know lab tests show little or no improved sharpness but in real life, it is noticeable. Perhaps the improved autofocus and IS are the big factors in real world shooting. I shoot mostly outdoors--landscapes, wildlife and some portraits with both a 77D and 5D IV. I have also used it indoors for some portraits in low light where the IS has produced sharp images handheld and slow shutter speeds. If you're on the fence about upgrading---go for it!

Bought few weeks ago best money ever spent. If your considering it for the cost it is a no brainer. Very well made

5 Stops of IS! Supersharp. Replaces my non-IS 70-200 f/4. You will love this lens.

I bought this lens on June 28, 2018 and took it with me on a cruise to Alaska the next day. The pictures that I shot with this lens were incredibly sharp and the colors were true to life. The image quality is so good that I used this lens most of the time.

I previously owned version 1 of this lens but sold it when I purchased the f/2.8 version. While the f/2.8 is a fabulous lens, it is quite heavy and I found that I wasn't taking my camera along with me as much as I used to, or wanted to. I have been planning to purchase another f/4 and when the version II came out I bit the bullet and did it. I am so happy I did!! I love the lens, it is incredibly sharp and so much lighter than the f/2.8. The f/4 is suitable for most of what I shoot and its ease of use (for my old arthritic wrists and thumbs) is bringing joy back to my photography. I will keep the f/2.8 for use with a tripod, but most of my everyday shooting will happily be with the f/4.

I received this lens in the mail, and within one hour was on my way to a sports event. I attached the lens to the camera, read two paragraphs on operation and began using the lens. Wow !! Great photos. Great quality. Super colors.
