After watching this review a year ago, I got it after the used market finally took shape. Bought from Map Camera from Japan on Ebay and incredibly happy. Having owned and sold the 2.8 IS, i almost thought the seller forgot to pack a lens in there when I held the box which was so light. The five stops of IS allow me to nail focus handheld in a dimly lit room. No whirring sound when the IS motor was working. It was deceptively quiet, I turned it off and took another shot and the image was very blurry. My back and arm will thank me later.

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

Since you have used a 2.8 and this lens. How much of a difference is there in AF speed, accuracy and Image quality of f4 compared to the f2.8. ? Budget wise f4 suits me. We don’t have option for buying or testing a used one. Have to buy a brand new one. N I plan to use it on my 5Dmk4.

@MrJAM-np7go 6 лет назад

Roger Cicala in Lensrental tested 70-200 F4L IS II with their 10 samples. As for the result, the 70-200 F4L IS II is THE BEST 70-200 F4 lens for now. I was skeptical with the approach of Canon, they are updating perfectly fine lenses, but I'm kind of understand Canon now. Updating lens seems like somewhat conservative advance tactics. I hoped more of niche products or aggresive products, but I can't judge their decision.

@DustinAbbottTWI 6 лет назад

I do think they have a method, but lets just say it would only work for the market leader. Smaller companies have to be more aggressive.

@WolfQuantum 3 года назад

I realize this is a few years old. If you still read these I have a question. I did pick up the Tamron SP 24-70/2.8 DI VC USD G2 recently. The Tap-In console was tossed in for free by one of the big NYC bases stores. Partially due to your review. And the fact I couldn't really afford the Canon L 2.8. Great lens though. Next up for me is a 70-200mm. The Canon f4 IS L is $1299 US and the Tamron SP 70-200/2.8 DI VC USD G2 is priced at $1199 with the 6 year USA warranty. Is there any real reason I shouldn't just go with the Tamron and get 2.8 maximum aperture and be able to use the Tap-In on it as well? I do most images outside, but I don't climb mountains, live in a rain forest, or deal routinely with sandstorms. Well, not the latter since I PCS's from my military posting in the Sinai, Egypt back in 1988. I just deal with Southwest Texas heat. I was willing to go with F4 for some cost savings over the 2.8 Canon. However, I still want the IS and that puts me right back at the Tamron 2.8 IS or Canon f4 IS. If you stumble across this comment here in 2021 and don't mind answering it is much appreciated. Appreciate the videos too.

@DustinAbbottTWI 3 года назад

I would personally go with Tamron G2. I owned that lens until I switched completely over to mirrorless, and it served me well. You're already familiar with the Tap In, so I think you'll find it a nice compliment to your 24-70

Well, at first I was using the 70-300 f/4-5.6 L IS, and then went to the 70-200 f/2.8 L IS II, but now I have ordered this lens. I hand-carry for long periods of time and should benefit from the weight reduction. I've learned that I can still get some very buttery bokeh at f/4. Will I be happy with the 1.4 III extender? Much controversy on the extenders.

@funstuff2review947 5 лет назад

Great in depth review as always Dustin. Did you try the lens and extender on the Canon 80D. I shoot an 80D and was contemplating getting this setup for bird photography. With the 1.4 extender and 1.6 crop factor of the 80D that would give me the equivalent of a 156 - 448mm f5.6 lens. That seems like a great wild life lens.

@DustinAbbottTWI 5 лет назад

I don't think I used the extender on the 80D, but it will work fine as the maximum aperture is only 5.6. I primarily focused on full frame for the review as this is a full frame lens.

@arunrokade 2 года назад

Thanks for the detailed review Dustin. Image quality and bokeh wise how does it compare to Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS. Canon has discontinued EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS, so will have to get hold of an used one.

@eliaspap8708 4 года назад

Thank you Dustin, another great review! If you can manage to get a good copy then im sure it was designed to thrill, I sent mine straight back to canon unfortunately it was woefully blury on left side, after they aligned the optics it was a lot better but I was never that impressed, my APSc equivalent Fuji 50-140mm f2.8 was sharper! and that shouldn’t be the case i would think, luckily i managed to sell it and now move forward to seeing how we go with R Series optics, looking forward to your review on the Canon R6.

Hey Dustin, another great video. I respect your opinion and thorough review process. I've got a quick question... I have an EOS RP and do mostly landscape but do love portraits of my kids. I've been set on f2. 8 but truth is that's too expensive (and even heavy) for what I want. I've seen quite a few f4 is versions selling @500 or under and really want to understand if jumping to mkii is really that much better over the mki

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

The MKII is definitely a better lens, but the first gen lens was also excellent. You will hear some noise from the IS system, but it is optically strong.

Actually i own the following lenses on a Canon 80D crop-sensor body: - Samyang 8mm f/3,5 UMC CSII - Canon EF-S10-18mm f/4,5-5,6 - Sigma 18-35mm f/1,8 DC HSM - Canon EF 50mm f/1,8 - Canon EF-S 60mm f/2,8 Macro it is time to complete my set until the 200mm, so i have a few variations for that, and in this question i will ask your advise. First option: Sigma 50-100mm f/1,8 DC HSM, + Canon 100-400mm f/4,5-5,6L II IS USM. Second option: Canon EF 70-200mm f/2,8 IS III USM + Canon Extender 1,4x III.

Hey Dustin, Loving your reviews! I currently own a 77d and use a cheap and cheerful 55/250 stm lens. I’m currently looking to upgrade my zoom. I mainly shoot motorsports, do a lot of panning and family shots such as portraits whilst out and about. I’m currently looking at this as it is £700 cheaper than the f2.8. I’m also looking at the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 at around £1200 and the Canon 70-300 USM consumer grade lens that you did a great review on. Obviously much cheaper. I’m wondering if I’ll benefit from having different image stabilisation modes ie just vertical for panning which the cheaper 70/300 doesn’t have. Do the different image stabilisation modes make a big difference instead of simply on or off? Thanks!

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

While the different stabilization modes do make a minor difference, most lenses without an option to control the IS system have the ability to sense when panning is taking place and making a minor adjustment. I wouldn't base my buying choice on that.

@DustinAbbottTWI 5 лет назад

I've used Kenko extenders in the past and had a fairly positive experience with them. My one objection was that they would become "bricked" when new cameras were introduced (no longer compatible). Have they added the ability to do firmware updates? If not, they aren't worth the money because you'll have to replace them. If so, then they might be worth it.

@DustinAbbottTWI 6 лет назад

The chromatic aberration is minimal and isn't enough to be a factor for film or digital.

Dustin, if you had to choose 3 lenses for your entire life and you can use only that lenses. witch lenses would you choose?

@DustinAbbottTWI 6 лет назад

That’s a very tough decision, and one I’m glad I don’t have to make. Probably the 35L II, a good macro lens (100L IS), and a 70-200 f/2.8

@LeoKleemann 6 лет назад

Hummm nice decision. I'm thinking to buy two new lenses. I've the Canon 24-70 2.8 I think i'll get the - 16-35 III 2.8 - 24-70 II 2.8 - 70-200 III IS 2.8 - and consider a macro in the future...

@NoiTuiEarn 6 лет назад

I will choose 24-105 F4L IS II + 70-200 F2.8 L III + 85mm F1.4L IS

hi Dustin i have Canon70-300 is usm mkii lens and thinking of exchanging it for 70-200f/4 L is usm lens i mainly shoot wildlife, mainly birds, i would really like your thoughts on this exchange yours thankfully Bill Perry

@DustinAbbottTWI 5 лет назад

Both are competent lenses, though I would consider the 70-200 to be more of a pro-grade lens on a lot of levels.

@billperry6101 5 лет назад

thanks for the comment, not putting you on a spot but would you recommend me doing the exchange , your thankfully Bill Perry

@DustinAbbottTWI 5 лет назад

So long as you don't think you will miss the extra reach. 200mm is not 300mm.

Is it still made in Japan?

@DustinAbbottTWI 5 лет назад

I don't have the lens on hand, and I don't actually remember that. Canon has been getting a little "sneaky" about where they share that information. It is often pressed into the bayonet mount in very small letters.

@DustinAbbottTWI 6 лет назад

It definitely is.

@thefilmpoets 6 лет назад

big plus for video. The f/4 IS sounds like an engine - loudest I've owned.

@howardkahn717 6 лет назад

i thought the extra glass was to protect the actual lens from being damaged......

@DustinAbbottTWI 6 лет назад

If you regularly employ the lens hood, there are few occasions when that would be the case.

@howardkahn4330 6 лет назад

I do keep the lens hood on because it helps with the sunlight issues, I use them both for better damage control....I do not have insurance and my lenses are very expensive, SO !
