Comments about Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L USM Lens:

As a sports photographer, I have used this lens on both the Canon EOS 20D and EOS 50D with excellent results. Even though the focal length may be short for some sports shots, attaching this lens to a digital SLR with a 1.6 crop-factor high resolution sensor like that of the Canon EOS 50d will allow you to crop in long shots and still retain the quality depending on the shooting conditions. Truly, the next step up in image quality would be a prime, but this lens offers great mobility without the encumbrance of a mono-pod and it's great when you're shooting from the sidelines and have to dodge an errant baseball, softball, hockey puck or player!

Comments about Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L USM Lens:

A really great lens. Feels incredibly strong and durable in your hands, but a little heavy on the camera. Auto focus is lightning fast, sharpness is abundant and color is accurate. Focus switches make it easy to help the auto focus out yourself. Tripod ring is a great addition and makes it a more versatile lens.
