Comments about Canon 70-200 F4.0 L USM Lens:

This is a very sharp well constructed lens. Some will say that the lack of IS is a con but that would only be a con if it had it and it didn't work very well. This lens does not come with IS so must be used accordingly. Best used with a monopod of tripod unless bright light is available. Focuses fast and accurately. For the money this is one heck of a buy.

Comments about Canon 70-200 F4.0 L USM Lens:

This zoom lens is the best in the price range.
L quality. Strong construction. Lightweight for a long zoom. Lighter than my 17-55mm. I would go for the IS version but double the price is a difficult decision. Overall, this is the must have lens.

Comments about Canon 70-200 F4.0 L USM Lens:

This is the first in my budding collection of "L" glass. I couldn't be more pleased. Much lighter than the 70-200mm F/2.8L which makes a difference on long shoots. Images are crisp; beautiful bokeh 200mm wide open with close subjects. Focus is very fast.

Shot the Eugene Marathon with it today in sputtering rain on my 50D, no cover and no weather related problems.

I've used this very successfully for portrait / sporting events with fantastic results.

It's minor but I do wish all Canon 'L' glass was available in black finish.

What an excellent, affordable entry into Canon's top of the line lenses.

I would definitely buy this lens again.
