Product Description
The Canon USA 7042A002 70mm to 200mm /f2.8 IS USM is an exceptional zoom lens for use with a Canon SLR camera body (35mm or Digital). A unique feature is that this lens incorporates Canon's second generation Image Stabilization technology. Maximum Diameter x Length, Weight - 3.4 x 7.8, 3.24 pounds

Amazon.com Product Description
Incorporating Canon's second-generation Image Stabilization technology, this 70-200mm telephoto zoom responds in as little as 0.5 seconds while providing up to three stops of correction for camera shake. As a result, you can easily capture the far-off action of fast-paced sports or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. The lens's autofocus (AF) system, meanwhile, has been refined for better response time and tracking speed. And photographers will love the new eight-blade circular aperture, which offers a more pleasing out-of-focus image. Constructed to pro standards, the EF 70-200mm lens is highly dust- and moisture-resistant and carries a one-year warranty.

5 out of 5 stars Great in Low Light   November 29, 2008
Tracy A. Bohannan (Fort Worth, Texas)
This is my work horse lens in low light. It is amazing no matter which camera body I stick it on (20D, 30D or 5D) and is super sharp. One of my favorites.

It is heavy but so worth it. :)



5 out of 5 stars Simply, a great piece of equipment!   November 18, 2008
Don Fuller (Diamondhead, MS USA)
Having been a photographer by hobby for 20+ years, I have to say that this is by far the best glass that I have ever shot with. To be succinct, if you are at least a "prosumer" Canon shooter, you shouldn't be without this lens. It has been versatile enough for me to shoot everything from a deceased soldier's burial to youth sports without being a disrupting influence. I've used it to shoot airshows (static displays) and news events. It is simply a must have for the Canon-carrying photojournalist.

The mechanics of this "L" lens are solid and the focus is sharp and fast. It may be a little heavy for some but I've gotten used to it. It is an investment that will pay for itself many times over if you take the time to learn it and how to use it.

If your wallet can bear it, then I say go for it. You won't regret it.

I have nothing to add. The lens is everything for which one could wish. Simply superb. Rather than reiterate what everyone else has said, I thought I'd just quietly put in my 5 stars.


5 out of 5 stars I can't believe it!   October 29, 2008

Wow, I have been spending way too much time reading and reviewing this lens, seriously, just get it. My lens had a code of UW####, which means it was made in September of 2008, so new!

I just tested it real quick, and it seems to focus very well at all focal lengths, quiet, and focus fast! This is my first L lens, and I am so excited! This lens is definitely worth every penny. Yes, everyone says that, but really, it is. Get it now!
