Amazon.com Product Description
One of the finest telephoto zoom lenses in Canon's EF line, this 70-200mm f/2.8 lens offers comparable optics to a single focal-length lens. The lens employs four UD-glass elements to minimize chromatic aberrations, creating sharp, high-quality images regardless of the application. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, meanwhile, makes the lens extremely popular among professionals. Other features include an inner focusing system with an Ultra Sonic Motor (USM), a 4.9-foot close focusing distance, and a 77mm filter size. The lens--which is compatible with EF 1.4x II and 2x II extenders--carries a one-year warranty. p bSpecifications/bbr ul liFocal length: 70-200mm liMaximum aperture: f/2.8 liLens construction: 18 elements in 15 groups liDiagonal angle of view: 34 to 12 degrees liFocus adjustment: Inner focusing system with USM liZoom system: Rotating type liClosest focusing distance: 4.9 feet liFilter size: 77mm liDimensions: 3.3 inches in diameter and 7.6 inches long liWeight: 2.9 pounds liWarranty: 1 year /ul

Since I got this lens it pretty much hasn't left my 40D! I wanted to get it before my honeymoon in Kona/Hilo Hawaii so I made sure to get it a week or so before we left so I could get used to the weight. Yes, it is heavy but I knew that before buying it. I don't get why so many people that buy this lens whine about how heavy it is. You don't get a lens of this superior quality without trading off something! And I had no problem with paying that much either! You get what you pay for and that money bought me an incredible lens that is worth every penny! br / br /The week before we left I shot a ton of pics all over of everything from planes overhead to people to flowers to buildings, etc, etc. I've been blown away with how awesome every picture has been! Once we got to Hawaii I've just been in heaven. I put on a 2x extender and from our hotel room I've been able to get shots of the sea turtles in the tidal pool below that makes it seem as if I'm right there. Yesterday we went to the volcano park and since you can't get right up to the activity this lens and at times this lens coupled with the 2x extender were perfect! I'm thrilled because I got amazing pics of the most beautiful place on earth and I have been saying the whole time "I freaking love this camera and this lens!!!" br / br /Do no hesitate to get this lens! You won't be disappointed!

When you are ready to take your photography to the next level, you need to upgrade to an "L" series lens. The Canon 70-200 f 2.8 is a perfect lens to start you on your way. While it is a big investment to make for most amatuer photogs, it more then makes up for the cost with the images it will return. If you look at other pictures and say "I wish I could take shots like that", this is the type of lens that can make that happen.

I bought this lens to compliment my Canon 40D. I like the constant f2.8, ultrasonic motor and L quality lens. It's definitely bigger and heavier than the f4.0 but with the collar attached to a monopod, it gave me stability.

This lens is perfect. I was in a internal struggle about purchasing the f/2.8 IS and the f/2.8. I knew the neither of the f/4 models were fast enough for me when I shoot indoor sports events. The question was Image Stabilizer and 400 extra dollars or not. I decided that I could use this lens with monopods or tri-pods if needed the extra stabilization. The IS does NOT stop motion, it only helps stabilize you hand shaking. I this is a misconception about IS and the IS is held in too high regards for what it actually does. I have only had this lens for a week, but I have used it every day and after reviewing the results on screen I am positive that replacing my 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 IS was worth it, even losing 100mm of length (which actually is not much at these lengths). To clear a few things up. Amazon does include the tripod collar, the case, and the hood. This is lens is also NOT white. It is slightly off-white. I was actually a little dissapointed about the color. I wanted it to be as White as the picture on this website and even Canon's website. br / br /All in all. I use this with my 40d (highly recommended) and it accompanies my 24-70mm f/2.8 and my 17-40 f/4. I have other lenses too and an backup xti, but I don't use those as much. Great lenses, it you want sharp photos that were easy to get because of fast AF, get this lenses.
