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

 

Canon has just updated one of its golden oldie pro lenses. But will the new £2,800 price tag hit a bum note?

Great image quality ; IS stabilization ; Flexible

Not cheap

Simply a must have for pro photographers who want to get the best shots possible

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

 

Canon has had so far two 70–200 mm f/2.8 lenses – a device without stabilization, presented in 1995, and a stabilized version, launched worldwide six years later. Both instruments dated back to the period before the biggest digital boom; small wonder...
