Canon EF 200mm Lens Review

Mark Goldstein | Lenses | June 4, 2008 | 1 Comments

Canon 200mm f/2L IS USMThe-Digital-Picture have reviewed a new professional EF lens, the Canon EF200mm f/2L IS USM.

“The Canon EF 200mm f/2.0 L IS USM Lens is at its release the shortest fixed-focal-length (prime) lens to have Image Stabilization. This IS implementation is rated by Canon for a state-of-the-art up-to-4-stops of improvement - and I find the improvement to be as-rated. After a long day of physical labor (around the house), and after well over 250 shots taken handheld (this is a heavy lens), I could still take sharp handheld shots at 1/5 sec with this lens as demonstrated in the sample comparison below.”

I was in 2 minds when deciding which lense to get.

Its pretty much between the Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM and the EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM. One has Image Stabilisation and the other is L series. which to get?

Ended up going with the IS and paid a little extra - was worth it in the end. But because we live in South Africa, I had to buy it through a 3rd party online shopping site. Still a good deal.
