Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras, White - 2309C002

Great product. Shipped and arrived in only a couple of days.We were told that we would need to sign for the package but it was just left on the porch. Luckily we were home when it arrived.

When you step into the IS II USM Lens arena you are at the next level. This lens makes you look like a pro even if you aren't. I have taken pictures in the day and at night. It is well worth the money. When I first used it I was thinking I could have brought a regular lens and achieved the same results. Then I open the pictures up on my computer. I aimed at items 2 miles away because I have a regular EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM which is a good Telephoto Lens. But when I changed up and spent a little money on the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM Lens it changed me and my title. This lens with a little work will definitely get you phone calls from the pictures it produce. As mention the items I took from 2 miles away were very clear and I could make out names and see window glass clearly. I zoomed in and I was very impressed. Took pictures of the same buildings at night with a high ISO and the buildings were very clear. Overall this is one of the best Lens on the market. If the others shoot better I can't wait to buy one.

The lens is quick, silent and sharp. I upgraded to this lens from the first version of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 USM Lens that I bought in 2012. A new feature that I have really made use of on this lens is Mode 3 on the stabilizer mode options. Mode 3 turns on the stabilizer when the shutter is released, and is intended to be used for erratic movement. I photograph birds and insects a lot, and Mode 3 works especially well with hummingbirds that hover, but constantly move one way or the other to get just outside of the view of the lens, bats and flying insects. The 5 stop stabilization is excellent for really low light situations, and I find it works great for getting clear photos of nocturnal animals like bats, owls and porcupines in the low gray light at dusk that are too far away for a flash. This lens also has a closer minimum focus than it's predecessor. With the sharpness and clarity this lens offers I can often get macro like detail. The lens is very lightweight and durable, which makes it a great choice for travel.

Just received the lens. works fantastic. be aware that it does not come with the tripod ring. It is not implied or listed as an included part. I just thought it came with it because most photos of the lens have the ring and mount included. ah well, that's minor. Beautiful lens.

Received my new Canon EF 70mm-200mm F/4L USM II lens today from Amazon. Fast shipping and well packed. The lens has a solid feel, everything is smooth when zooming and focusing. The newer, more white color, is very nice and matches my Canon 6D well. I sold my f/2.8L version of this lens due to the weight of it. After 4 years of using it, my shoulders and neck started to feel the pain. This F4 version is perfect, and lightweight. The lens hood is nice, and I believe it should have come with a tripod collar, but Canon seems to want to charge us extra for it. The lens comes with a nice soft case as well. Looking forward to continuing to do my youth sports photos, and general photography with this new lightweight alternative. Highly recommended.

I love this lens so Much, The clarity is very high and the image is very sharp. It is a very classic lens.

$1400 lens shipped in a box with no protection other then the canon display box. Utterly unacceptable for a professional grade and price product. Also, why did this take so long to ship? Should I have bought it direct from a photo supply for the same price instead? lens itself is awesome as expected.

IMO, possibly the best lens Canon has ever made. I have owned every version of this lens and all the f/2.8 versions as well. The increase in IS is very obvious instantly. New Canon feature that I first noticed on the EF 35/2 IS lens - there is a lock button in the hood. Makes sure the hood does not turn or accidently fall off. Great idea. Closer MFD is nice as well. What is not to like except some may complain about the money. Worth every penny !!!! I have been a professional photographer for over 40 years. I have shot with over 500 different lenses. Classics to modern. I say again, perhaps the best ever Canon lens which is indeed saying something.
