from ebay Summary: Compared to the 70-200mm IS 2.8, this lens produces brighter and more colourful pictures, which one wouldn't spot unless you have both lenses, otherwise don't lose any sleep over it.
Was it worth the money. Well I paid £1500 for the 70-200 from Jessops, so thats £300 less than the 200mm 1.8. However the proof is in the pudding. Since getting the 200mm 1.8 it has been constantly on my camera. The pictures are far more pleasing. That is not to say the zoom is poor cos it is not. The only drawback is th slight increase in weight, but I still handhold this lens. In low light then the pod comes out.
If this lens sold at £500-£1000 then Canon would have had a supply problem, it is just sheer quality. If you have the money by one.
Strengths: Superbly built, picture quality brilliant, never had so many females come and talk to me!
Price, it still holds a high resale value, just hope Canon don't bring out an IS version. Superb in low light. Weaknesses: Weight, but not really any issue for me, use a lightweight monopod with it.
Price in terms of second hand still costs between £1800-£2500, but resale excellent. Similar Products Used: Canon ef 70-200mm is 2.8 Customer Service: N/A
