Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM Zoom Lens ... advanced amateurs, yet at a reasonable price. One artificial crystal fluorite and two UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass lens elements in its optical system eliminate secondary spectrum, which is often the Achilles' heel of telephoto lenses resulting lower picture quality. These elements assure high resolution and high contrast throughout the entire zoom range. The latest optical design gives a minimum focusing distance of 1.2m and 0.21x maximum magnification. This lightweight, compact zoom lens, having the same level of optical performance as EF 70 - 200mm f/2.8L USM, assures good portability and operability. The ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor) and inner focusing system achieve high-speed silent autofocusing. Manual focusing, even while in AF mode, is possible thanks to full-time manual focusing mechanism. Extenders EF 1.4X and 2X can be used with this lens, and the optional Ring Tripod Mount A (W) is being marketed concurrently.

... my mind this is how they stack up. F4 (Non IS) Very light, great price but F4 makes it limited in low light. I.E. sports hall, high motion, high ISO, you're at 1/60th, you need at least 1/125 (i.e. the one stop you get with the 2.8) So ideal for use outside in good light, F4 will be less of an issue as high ISO performance improves in future bodies. F4 IS Slightly heavier, more money, with the IS you're 2-3 stops better off for hand holding, but the shutter speed will be the same for motion. So better for a Churc...more

A 70-200 telephoto is "standard kit" for many photographers, which is why Canon have four models at this focal length.(F4, F4 IS, F2.8 and F2.8 IS) (IS = Image stabilised) There's little point in talking about the F4 without comparing it to the others. All 4 have superb image quality, some say the F4 is sharper than the 2.8 IS (My 2.8 IS is very slightly sharper than my F4 so who knows) either way all of them are stonkingly good from 70-200, from wide open. If you measurebate you might spot some differences but they will be irrelevant in real world images The question is which one to get. Each one is compromise over ... Read the complete review

General Overview and Performance The Canon EOS Lens 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM, is promoted as a high performance telephoto zoom lens providing excellent performance for all general purposes. It is a very lightweight (0.705kg) and compact zoom lens that has the same level of optical performance as EF 70 - 200mm f/2.8L USM. This assures good portability and operability and makes it an excellent choice for travel photography as well as more localised shoots. I have used it for taking pictures of landscapes, natural habitats, portraiture, curious happenings in supermaket carparks and the usual espionage work. The results so far have been more than satisfactory and it seems ... Read the complete review
