Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 8.06 (out of 10)
Review: "High-performance, L-series telephoto zoom lens combining light weight and compactness with an f/4 maximum aperture. Inner focusing and the ring USM enable quick and quiet autofocusing. Also, a circular polarizing filter can be attached and used without difficulty because the front lens element does not rotate during focusing.

Usually in life, the best you can hope for is to get what you paid for. Occasionally though, you get much more. A good case in point is the Canon 70-200mm f/4L lens. Prior to testing it, we'd been aware of this lens' good reputation: Test tech Jim actually owns one, and he'd been very favorably impressed with its capabilities before we brought it to the test lab. When we ran it through its paces though, we were quite surprised to find just how good it actually was...."

Review: "Take one of Canon's most popular lenses, the Canon 70-200mm f/4 L, add an up-to-4-stop Image Stabilizer and you get the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L IS USM Lens. If you don't need the subject-action-stopping and background-blurring capabilities of the faster Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8 L IS Lens, this lens will deliver everything else you need in a smaller, lighter and less-expensive package.

A Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L IS USM Lens review would not be complete without mentioning its biggest downside - a high price. The premium over the non-IS version is substantial - and will be insurmountable to some. But, this lens will be worth the price to many - including myself. IS and improved image sharpness are very valuable to me."
