Written on June 23, 2008 Summary: So very sharp I have been an avid photographer (landscape and wildlife) since I purchased a Canon G3 in 2003. I loved that camera and its fast lens but when I retired I decided to upgrade. I played the waiting game and purchased Canon's 40d with the 28-135 lens. Good lens, and sometimes captured very nice shots. I purchased the the 70-200 f4 IS with the rebate and I have found that I want to leave it on all the time even though it is too long for some applications. Sometimes I'll import to PS Elements and think, what am I here for. Colors, contrast and sharpness are on a scale I haven't seen before except for my 50 1.4 prime but with more versatility.  Written on June 15, 2008 Summary: Great for travel, but sharpness is overrated I have only owned this lens for a few days. When compared to my 70-200 2.8 IS on the same tripod shot at f/4, the image is just a tad less sharper. Everywhere I read, the reviews have been saying that this the sharpest version of all the 4 variants of the 70-200. So maybe it's just my copy. But overall, it is very light and compact when compared to the 2.8 IS and much more suitable for travel and landscape photography where f5.6 or higher is generally used. The new 4-stop IS technology is amazing. You can feel that it is considerably more "stable" than the 2.8 IS at 200mm focal length. Even handheld at 1/15 secs, the image quality is quite acceptable. But with the sharpness "disappointment" I rate it a 4-star. Written on June 4, 2008 Summary: Outstanding. It's really that simple. I've framed a 20x30 enlargement from my 8 MP XT that was handheld and very, very sharp. The image stablization alone is state of the art. And, the glass seems to be sharp at just about every range. If you're thinking about buying this lens, do it. It's impressive. Written on May 31, 2008 Summary: Needs to be in you kit This is a great lens, and worth every penny. The color and sharpness is amazing, even at f4. The IS is worth the doubling of the price as when you are out at 200mm you sometimes need to cut the speed down below 1/200 and the IS saves some shots that would have blurred. I would say you could go down to the 2.8 f lens, but that one is simply too big and heavy (nearly twice the size/weight of this lens) for my taste. This lens is great, and still compact enough that you can leave it on the camera. I also have a portrait lens (f1.8 85mm) and everyday lens (f4L IS 24-105) that are great, but I still use this lens a ton. I primarily end up using when I want to get tight and not influence the scene (animals & kids) as you tend to need to invade people's space to get a tight shot with the other 2 lenses. This lens really does great with kids shots as you can stay back and still get great closeup shots. I posted a few sample pictures so you can judge for yourself. Of all my lenses, this one takes the most consistently impressive shots. I love my f1.8 portrait lens, but much harder to get to the "money shot" with that lens. It's hard to get a bad shot with this lens, especially outside. Written on May 25, 2008 Summary: This lens is worth every pennies, and will help you shoot every bears! There's a ton of gushing on the Amazon reviews about this lens. And why? Well, because it's fantastic, that's why. I recently added this to my admittedly small collection of lenses (Canon EF-S 17-55 F/2.8 and Sigma 30mm 1.4), and this 70-200 IS wonder is just astonishing. Even wide open at F/4, images are razor sharp. My EOS 40D is a 1.6x crop factor camera so the equivalent 35mm image is approximately 320mm at full zoom length for me. Even at this focal length, images are so sharp with IS enabled. I couldn't imagine this being the case without a tripod, but it's true! With IS off, images are noticeably blurrier. Don't go for the F/4 without IS! For those on the fence between this and the 2.8 IS lens, you really need to hold the 2.8 lens in your hands. It's double the weight, and quite unwieldy. Unless you have a particular use for the extra stop the 2.8 gives you, you're definitely better off getting the F/4 IS. Definitely one of Canon's finest lenses. A+ |
