Telephoto lens for Canon systems with Full frame sensors. The aperture is fixed over the entire range of focal lengths (70-200 mm) and is 4.0, the minimum aperture value is 32, it has 8 blades. The design feature is the immobility of the front element during the operation of the optics, which allows the use of polarizing filters.

    The best zoom telephoto for this price.
    9 December 2020 
    For this price, you won't find anything like it. You get an L-series lens, white, with a red ring and as sturdy as a tank. This is a professional reportage lens with very fast autofocus and a focus distance limiter. The lens delivers sharp images at any aperture value, and I've never noticed any chromatic aberrations. The well-thought-out design allows for zooming and focusing within the body, which protects the lens from dust. However, the manufacturer does not claim weather resistance. The package includes a high-quality hood that's also effective. The lens is relatively lightweight despite its metal body; I've never used a tripod mount, and the bayonet is in great shape.
    Yes, the maximum aperture of f4 and the absence of stabilization will not allow handheld shooting in low-light conditions. But on a sunny day, you get fantastic shots with excellent color reproduction and contrast. I used it with a budget crop 200D, set the ISO to 800, and aperture priority mode. That's it, you shoot as if on automatic. I shot almost everything with it except product photography. Its focal length even allows for interesting portraits.

    No. For the money it's perfect.

    It will do if the hand is strong and the photo is mostly outdoors, but better with a stabilizer
    2 March 2017 
    I use it alongside the 17-55 f2.8 and 85 f1.8 lenses. The build quality is exceptional, and the lack of a telescoping barrel is also a plus (for example, the 17-55 has both a telescoping barrel and some play). Occasionally, I get successful shots at the long end with a shutter speed of 1/200 (crop 1.6), but only sometimes. Even at 1/320, you need to "root" yourself and hold your breath to avoid blur. Without moving your hands, reliable shots start from 1/500. The stabilizer, similar to the one in the 17-55 that offers 2 stops (out of the claimed 4), would allow shooting at 1/125, which would be a significant advantage. However, f4.0 is sufficient. Between 150-200mm, the background is nicely blurred even at f4.0. At shorter focal lengths, it still can't compare to the cheaper 85mm f1.8. So, if you're choosing between f2.8 without a stabilizer or f4.0 with one, definitely go with f4.0+stabilizer. And that's without considering that the 70-200 f2.8 is double the size and weight.

    The build quality is excellent. It's precise and sharp. The ends slightly lack resolution, but in the 100-150mm range, the resolution is enough for pixel sharpness across the entire 24MP crop1.6 sensor. At f8.0, the pixel sharpness disappears, but that's due to diffraction. The pixels have become too small.

    It's unclear why the hood is so big, as it's inconvenient to carry and intimidates people. I don't use it, and I haven't noticed any severe glare, even in photos taken at a 30-degree angle to the sun. It could have been made twice as short, which would make it less obtrusive and attention-grabbing.
    Assembly, resolution, size and weight. No trunk.
    The stabilizer is definitely not enough. Well, the hood would be shortened by a third, Maybe take a hacksaw and cut it off?

    Short description:

    The CANON EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM is a high quality L-series telephoto zoom lens with a maximum aperture of f/4. The model is lightweight and compact, equipped with an internal focus system, as well as a USM ultrasonic drive for fast and quiet automatic focus. The front element of the lens remains stationary during focus, which makes it easy to install and use a circular polarizing filter. A tripod mount is also available for use with the EF 300mm f/4L USM lens.
