The Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 IS II USM
July 29, 2011
By: Christopher

Earlier this year I rented the Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 IS II USM lens to do a shoot at a wildlife refuge north of Toronto. I first compared it to my experience with the Sigma 70-200 2.8 and the previous Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 IS USM. The new lens is larger, heavier and more expensive than any other 70-200 available for Canon, is it worth it? If you are after outright performance the short answer is an emphatic yes! The majority of the shooting I did was at f3.5 or less, most often f2.8. I found the lens to be quite sharp wide open. At smaller apertures sharpness, of course, increased. F8 to f11 produced results near as makes no difference to top quality primes when stopped down. Focus is incredibly fast and accurate. In tandem with my 7D I was never waiting for the camera or the lens to do what I needed it to as the situation or light changed. The performance of this lens increased my “keeper rate” considerably over any other lens I've used. It allowed me to have so many great shots that the hardest part was choosing the best of the best, there was very little weeding out images where the focus was missed. The IS is absolutely phenomenal. It will keep your image steady long after your subject has moved. In low light I was able to shoot a still object at 200mm on a crop body (the 7D) at 1/40th of a second and the photo was completely sharp at a 100% crop. That equates to roughly 4 stops! The build quality of the lens is flawless and just holding it you get the sense that this is an immensely durable product. The full time manual focus ring moves smoothly with the perfect amount of resistance as does the zoom ring. The buttons to switch between focus modes and IS modes click into place with an appropriate amount of pressure that would make them difficult to move accidentally yet easy to move purposefully. The Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 IS II USM performed flawlessly for me on my Canon EOS 7D. For the performance it achieves it is worth it's weight in gold.
