Wow says it allStrengths: IS is amazing, best of all canon lens. Fast Focus, Great Colors, Sharp! Weakness: Bit Bulky with the hood attached. Price. If you like the zoom range then don't hesitate to get this lens. Its worth the upgrade over the regular 70-200 f4 even though its a lot more money. The IS is simply awesome.

70-200 f/4Strengths: size, weight, IS, f4 across entire zoom range Weakness: not f2.8 I received this wonderful lens for Christmas and have been taking animal and aquarium pictures with it this past week. The results are just beautiful! The lens is easy and confortable to hold by hand, even for extended periods of time. We also have the 100-400 IS f4.5-5.6, but I find that lens too heavy and long to hold comfortably in my hands for extended periods of time. The 70-200 f/4 is just...

Canon 70-200mm with Image StabilizationStrengths: Incredible color, contrast, and resolution with the added benefit of image stabilization. Weakness: It would be nice to have the 2.4 f stop but, for me, it's not worth the extra cost and weight. I had the non-image stabilized verrsion of this lens but sold it because I couldn't shoot without a tripod at 200 mm at anything less than 1/250. I can now go down to 1/30 with no problem. Fantastic lens. One more reason to stay in the Canon camp.

Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS USMStrengths: Image Quality, Compact, Light, Image Stabilization, Share 67mm filters Weakness: Cost, IS Noise I had been looking to get the non-IS version of this lens but decided to spring for the one with Image Stabilization. If you're looking at this lens you've already done your research on Canon L lens build and image quality so I'll stick with the other intangibles. (especially for those who're going to buy this sight unseen) The lens isn't really white - more of a dull metallic off-white/grey so...

70-200 mm F4 ISStrengths: Image Stabilization feature, small size, excellent image quality, very fast focus Weakness: Cost I have 70-200mm F4 non-IS lens for more than one year. It was my best image quality lens. I used it for portrait photography with excellent result. One downsize is that you have to use high ISO in order to obtain decent shutter speed for in door situation without flash. I just obtained the IS lens last week. From the outside appearance, it is very similar to the non-IS lens. I have done some...

Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS USMStrengths: 4-Stop IS. Sharpness wide open edge to edge over entire zoom range. Weakness: None. The 70-200 f/4L non-IS was my favorite for 2 years and I was reluctant to let it go but decided that I need IS. I am happy to report that the latest generation IS indeed works. I get sharp pictures 8 out of 10 times at 1/20 sec at 200mm (=4 stops for my 20D), and even a few at 1/8 sec (> 5 stops). What I didn’t anticipate is the outstanding image quality even compared to my non-IS, which was...

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS lensStrengths: Light, compact, image stabilization, exceptional quality. Weakness: Filter size of 67mm different from usual 77mm of many canon zooms. I bought this new 70-200mm f/4L IS lens to take the place of my much heavier and larger 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L lens when I want to lighten up my load when hiking in the field. On my 1Ds Mk II, I find the quality of this smaller lens to be similar to its larger brother and I don't have a problem giving up a few f stops to save weight and size. I'll still keep the 2.8 for low light applications like...

The most useful zoom gets betterStrengths: Image Stabalization (IS), sharpness, contrast, color rendition, light weight Weakness: price a little bit high, white color 70-200mm covers the most useful range of photography in my opinion. Previously, there were three versions of 70-200mm zooms from Canon: F4, F2.8 and F2.8 IS. In order to get the IS, many people had no choice but to get the F2.8 IS, despite being nearly twice as heavy and three time more expensive. Within weeks after getting my F4 zoom, I traded it for the F2.8 IS because I found myself constantly...

Canon 70-200mm F/4.0L IS USM
Strengths: Light weight and very sharp image
Weakness: Not F/2.8 and eat battery a lot
I was going to buy 70-200MM with F2.8, but the lens is really heavy and expensive. I care about weight more than anything else. I am a wedding photographer and I am woman, so I don't wan to carry the heavy lens for few hours. However, the previes 70-200MM with F4 didn't have a IS, so there was nothing I want to buy. When I Canon has new lens which is light weight and with F4, I bought the lens...
