Sharp from edge to edge. Optically stabilized. Constant f/2.8 aperture. Includes hood and tripod collar.
Some distortion at 70mm. Heavy. Expensive
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens is the go-to telezoom for many a pro shooter; its excellent optics make it a clear Editors' Choice....
Abstract: This is the first of a three part series on choosing suitable lenses for Canon's entry-level full frame camera, the EOS 6D. The 20-Mpix CMOS' sensor used is similar in architecture to that in Canon's hugely popular full-frame EOS 5D Mk III, a camera that...

Improved Optical Image Stabilizer lets you handhold lens at slower shutter speeds while getting sharp results, excellent sharpness overall, fluorite and UD glass elements nearly eliminate chromatic aberrations, fast and quiet autofocus, wider focus ring l
Previous lens is still a very solid option, heavy, expensive
If there's anything I can say against buying the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM it's that there's a reason the previous lens was in Canon's line-up for so long. The older 70-200mm f/2.8 is an excellent piece of glass and the type of workhorse that's hard to...
Abstract: The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is astonishing. It really is the sharpest zoom I've ever tested. Heck, after shooting mostly for the past couple of years, I forgot that my could make images this sharp. Not only is...

Abstract: This 70-200mm “full frame coverage” lens ($2499 MSRP ) weighs just about the same as the previous version, about 52 oz, and contains 23 elements in 19 groups, including one fluorite and five UD (Canon's ultra-low dispersion glass) elements, all to reduce ...

Abstract: One of Canon's best lenses just got betterWhat's Hot: Very sharp, with top-performing IS system. What's Not: Physically (and financially) heavy. Who It's For: Canon shooters who want the very best.A year ago Canon unveiled an upgraded version of one of it...
Abstract: The new Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM improves the autofocus speed, the optical image stabilisation and the optical quality of its legendary predecessor, which is no easy feat. The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM has an increased optical quality and...
Decreased minimum focus distance lets you get closer to your subject; IS II image stabilizer technology lets you shoot at slower shutter speeds; very fast autofocus even in low light; excellent overall image quality with razor sharpness.
Not imperative to upgrade if your older lens is still working fine; locking lens hood hard to get used to at first.
Though the wait has been long, Canon’s finally delivered an indispensable new pro lens suited for a range of photographers: the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. While the changes between the new lens and the previous version are not dramatic, that’s actua...
Some of you may have already followed our full format review of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM L IS II. The lens performed highly impressive here already but it's even better on APS-C DSLRs due to the sweet spot effect ("center" crop) here. The resol...
