Review 4 of 135
Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary: This is by far my favorite Lens. I've had this lens for a couple of years and am still amazed by the images that come out of it. This lens is extremely sharp even at F4. I've compared this lens to my new Canon 24-105 L, Canon 28-80L, Canon 100-300L, Tokina 300mm F4, and Canon 135 S/F. I found the 70-200 to be the sharpest and have the fastest Auto focus. I was hoping the the 24-105 would have the same extremely fast auto focus and sharpness at F4 as this lens but it doesn't. I was a little disappointed since the 24-105 cost almost twice as much as the 70-200L. The 24-105 isn't bad it just feels like it is a notch below the 70-200L.
I love the light weight of the 70-200L. This lens feels very solid in your hands but doesn't break your neck carrying it all day like the 70-200 F2.8 would. Strengths: Fast auto focus
Super sharp even at F4 Weaknesses: Doesn't come with tripod ring
I wish it had a little more reach like 70-300 instead of 70-200
Had to send it into canon with my 10D to have calibrated together because of back focusing issue. Canon did not cover the cost to calibrate the combo even though it is a know problem with the 10D because the 10D was out of its 1 year warranty this cost $200.

Tokina 12-24mm, 300mm Customer Service: Canon service took a couple of weeks when I had to have the 10D and 70-200 Calibrated to work with each other and cost me $200. the combo worked great when it came back but seemed kind of high since it was there problem.
