Canon EF 200 mm f/2.8L II USM

There have been quite a lot of EF mount lenses with the combination of 200 mm focal length and f/2.8 aperture in the Canon line-up. You can start their story with the legendary and unique EF 200 mm f/1.8L USM model, which was launched in 1988. Not...

Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Review

For its test results alone, the performance and modest price tag of the Canon 200mm ƒ/2.8L II USM make it an excellent addition to any Canon shooter's collection. However, if you want or need image stabilization, it's available only in longer or faster...
