Product Description:
The EF70-200mm /f2.8L IS USM delivers the same exceptional level of optical performance as the EF70-200mm /f2.8L USM, which has won strong support among professional and high-end amateur photographers. The IS unit utilizes improved holding for the barrel of the supplementary optical system that provides smoother movement, achieving image stabilizing effects equivalent to approximately three stops.Additionally, the EF70-200mm /f2.8L IS USM is equipped with a compact, lightweight, high-performance vibration gyro that, combined with improved signal processing circuits, makes possible image stabilization within approximately 0.5 seconds upon pressing the shutter button halfway. The EF70-200mm /f2.8L IS USM also employs an optical design offering compatibility with digital SLR cameras and utilizes an optical system made entirely from environmentally friendly lead-free glass.

Amazon.com Product Description:
Incorporating Canon's second-generation Image Stabilization technology, this 70-200mm telephoto zoom responds in as little as 0.5 seconds while providing up to three stops of correction for camera shake. As a result, you can easily capture the far-off action of fast-paced sports or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. The lens's autofocus (AF) system, meanwhile, has been refined for better response time and tracking speed. And photographers will love the new eight-blade circular aperture, which offers a more pleasing out-of-focus image. Constructed to pro standards, the EF 70-200mm lens is highly dust- and moisture-resistant and carries a one-year warranty.

- Simply, a great piece of equipment!
Having been a photographer by hobby for 20+ years, I have to say that this is by far the best glass that I have ever shot with. To be succinct, if you are at least a "prosumer" Canon shooter, you shouldn't be without this lens. It has been versatile enough for me to shoot everything from a deceased soldier's burial to youth sports without being a disrupting influence. I've used it to shoot airshows (static displays) and news events. It is simply a must have for the Canon-carrying photojournalist. ... Read More

- It's been said
I have nothing to add. The lens is everything for which one could wish. Simply superb. Rather than reiterate what everyone else has said, I thought I'd just quietly put in my 5 stars.

- I can't believe it!
Wow, I have been spending way too much time reading and reviewing this lens, seriously, just get it. My lens had a code of UW####, which means it was made in September of 2008, so new!

I just tested it real quick, and it seems to focus very well at all focal lengths, quiet, and focus fast! This is my first L lens, and I am so excited! This lens is definitely worth every penny. Yes, everyone says that, but really, it is. Get it now!

- Get it if you can afford it and aren't scared of weight
I had the 70-200 F4 L for a few years (non IS), which is an excellent lens, and a bargain "L" but I sold it to upgrade to either the 2.8 IS or the 4.0 IS. Both are great lenses, but I bit the bullet and went 2.8 IS, knowing the lens is a beast, but also knowing I'd carry almost anything if it was the right tool. For those who are trying to make this decision, all I can say is that after the first 100 shots, I'm hooked on this lens. Faster, better focus than my copy of the 4.0, which was no slouch. ...
