Canon EF 70-200mm F/4.0 L IS USM Lens
I purchased this to replace a Tamron lens which was so-so, in the hope of getting better quality pictures. I was not disappointed. The lens arrived next day as promised, in time to take it on holiday.I shot several pics with it, and two were especially good- one of rocks on the seashore and another of an old tin mine building. The detail was breathtaking!It is not too heavy to carry around, and the IS mechanism is very quiet and efficient. It also looks great! This is my 1st lens from the 'L' range, and I hope to acquire more.

The EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM is a top quality lens that produces sharp photos, good colour and performs well in situations such as low light. I have tested it with my EOS 50D and achieved great results including very pleasing background blurring. It is lightweight, compact and easy to use. Autofocus is fast and quiet. Image Stabilizer works well and there is an option for panning. The 200mm focal length is good and for anyone taking wildlife shots, an optional extender can be used with this lens. It comes with a lens hood and case. Yes, it is expensive, but worth spending more for one of Canon's top-of-the-range L series lenses.

Believe every good thing you have read or heard about this lens!
I wanted a new tele zoom for my crop-sensor DSLR and (to be honest) to finally own a lens from the Canon L range. I considered it's big brother (the f2.8 version) and the 100-400, but both seemed to be too heavy & bulky. There is also the much cheaper non-IS version but to me IS is an essential feature for a hand-held tele zoom. I'm not into tripods, as I already have enough weight to carry around in my backpack.
I simply cannot fault this lens. For the size & weight, the build quality, AF, IS and optical performance are outstanding. For me the 'icing on the cake' is the zoom reach. Add on the 1.4 extender and the zoom is almost 450mm. This is a reach only dreamed about by most amateur film photographers (myself included) only ten years ago.
Yes it's expensive, but if you can afford the price then go for it! I don't think you will be disappointed.

Obviously from the price this is not an amateur lens. But it's much, much lighter than an 2.8 zoom, the stabilization is excellent (I've made sharp photos down to 1/15 sec at 200mm), it's full frame, and it's damnable sharp. It's one of those lenses which makes me feel I am not wasting the 21 megapixels in the 5D mark II.

Purchased this lens over a fortnight ago, after arguing with myself that the expense WAS totally justified. It was! Immeasurably so! In fact I've found it incredibly difficult to put down.
I've got it on my 40D at present and the balance is just right. Not too cumbersome and could see no problems carrying it round all day. Can't wait to put it through its paces and see what it can really do. The IS does what it says on the tin though, which is essentially what you need to give you the confidence on the move.
Only quibble, on a personal level, is the size of the hood.....? BIG hood! A bit awkward to mess about with lens caps or polarising filters, especially if you've got big clumsy hands!
