Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Review

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

Canon EF 70-200mm Telephoto Zoom
Lightweight and compact, this 3LUXE “Best Of” lens is a superior all-around telephoto zoom. A true utility outfielder that’s razor sharp, fast, and blessed with amazing technology. Witness the remarkable second-generation image stabilization (IS), which reduces camera shake and endless blurred discards. Your hand-held shooting will improve by three or four stops. You can shoot in low light at slower shutter speeds and still get sharp, beautifully detailed images—the Sphinx at night, say. For shooting indoors—weddings, for example—this lens is a must-have because of its range—also handy for rugby games. For nature pix, this will show you the raised hair on a squirrel at 20 paces, though you’d want more distance than this lens allows between you and, say, lions. The Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS weighs in at a solid 3+ pounds, but your emphasis is on shooting, not wearing a camera in your pocket. Canon, first to put affordable digital SLRs into the hands of consumers, hasn’t stopped advancing the art and science since then. Go for the distinctive white lens—and play.

After thorough independent research, we selected the Canon EF 70-200mm Telephoto Zoom as a 3LUXE "Best Of", to see our other two Camera Lens selections visit our Camera Lens Overview.
