Customer Reviews

Superb Lens
I bought this lens to compliment my Canon 40D. I like the constant f2.8, ultrasonic motor and L quality lens. It's definitely bigger and heavier than the f4.0 but with the collar attached to a monopod, it gave me stability.

Stellar Lens
This lens is perfect. I was in a internal struggle about purchasing the f/2.8 IS and the f/2.8. I knew the neither of the f/4 models were fast enough for me when I shoot indoor sports events. The question was Image Stabilizer and 400 extra dollars or not. I decided that I could use this lens with monopods or tri-pods if needed the extra stabilization. The IS does NOT stop motion, it only helps stabilize you hand shaking. I this is a misconception about IS and the IS is held in too high regards for what it actually does. I have only had this lens for a week, but I have used it every day and after reviewing the results on screen I am positive that replacing my 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 IS was worth it, even losing 100mm of length (which actually is not much at these lengths). To clear a few things up. Amazon does include the tripod collar, the case, and the hood. This is lens is also NOT white. It is slightly off-white. I was actually a little dissapointed about the color. I wanted it to be as White as the picture on this website and even Canon's website.

All in all. I use this with my 40d (highly recommended) and it accompanies my 24-70mm f/2.8 and my 17-40 f/4. I have other lenses too and an backup xti, but I don't use those as much. Great lenses, it you want sharp photos that were easy to get because of fast AF, get this lenses.

One Sweet Lens
This is a beautiful lens that is comparable to prime lens throughout its 70 to 200 range. Pricy, but worth it.
