Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens Review

 

John Riley has put the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens to the test to find out if it's a lens photographers should make room for in their kit line-up.

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM is another fine lens and one that delivers the goods efficiently. A very fine photographic tool that would be a pleasure to own. There is very little about this lens that isn't resoundingly positive. However,...

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM L IS

 

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM L IS is one of the key lenses in the Canon lens line-up. It is especiallypopular for press, sports and portrait photography. Used on an APS-C DSLR its field-of-view resembles a classic 112-320mmlens on full-frame cameras

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM IS is a very good lens but not a stellar one.The resolution characteristic is excellent at 70mm and 135mm but at 200mm itdisappoints - more so regarding its price tag. The results are still very good here (just at f/2.8)...

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM

 

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens is a modest upgrade to the previous version, but remains the gold standard in its class.

Strong sharpness from edge to edge. Superb build quality. Dust and moisture protection. Fluorine lens coating. Image stabilization.

Not that different from previous edition. Some distortion. Modest vignette.

Bottom Line: The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM is a modest upgrade to the previous version, but remains the gold standard in its class.

My new favorite lens

 

The Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM is a wonderful, wonderful telephoto lens. It's sharp, it's quick to focus, and it's quiet. I absolutely love it.When I first put my Canon kit together in 2006, I had already spent $3,000 on ...

f/2.8 max aperture and IS are a great combination

Heavy, and you'll want at least one teleconverter to extend its reach
