The Canon EF USM Telephoto Zoom Lens delivers outstanding performance and optics to help master high-level creative imaging. The lens' constant f/2.8 maximum aperture enables fast shutter speeds and beautiful background blurs across its zoom range. To further enhance clarity, it adds Canon's Air Sphere Coating (ASC), which when combined with Super Spectra Coatings, significantly reduces lens flare and ghosting. A superlative lens remastered for improved performance even in diverse light, this telephoto zoom lens is an ideal choice to create stunning images. The lens' bright image enhances AF performance, sending more light to more areas of the AF sensor to facilitate a faster, more accurate focus. It has a specially designed fluorine coating on its front and rear surfaces. This fluorine coating helps prevent dust, water, oil and other surface residue like fingerprints from sticking to the lens, which facilitates quick and easy wiping, without the use of solvents.

  • Dust- and water-resistant construction with seals around multiple parts for protection
  • Full-time manual focusing allows you to turn focusing ring without the need to switch to MF mode

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Focus struggles This is my second 70-200 f/2.8 lens. There are added features on this lens for Image stabilization and distance control. Including instructions on what to use when would be extremely helpful. I was attempting to photograph rodeo contestants. I struggled to lock on to the subject and remain while the contestant and animal he/she was riding keep that focus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great lens This is a great addition to the EF L lens line up. After borrowing one and liking the results I decided to purchase one. I eventually plan to update my other 70-200 IS II.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great This lens has been fantastic. The compression in the image is great, especially fully extended at 200mm. The ability to shoot at f2.8 helps so much with shooting faster subjects. The lens was delivered super fast which was really nice and all the packaging was fine. Overall, I am very happy I bought this lens. This lens is great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great quality ! Mind blowing clarity !!! I can see why it’s a popular lens. If you don’t get to purchase a lot of glass but want to step up your game this is a really good choice for all around shooting speed, clarity and awesome portraits are possible! Low light friendly .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mark three Just OK My old 70-200mm 2.8 IS finally died after a decade. So I upgraded and it’s about the same soft on a lot of shots even when stoped down to f/4 (used w/ 1Dx. Still heavy. On the plus side the auto focus does seem to be quieter when using it with an on camera mic for video.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great indoor lens with low light I purchased this lens to shoot horses and equestrian events, these are typically in low light conditions especially in the winter. The performance has been nothing short of spectacular. You have to really pay attention since the subjects are constantly moving but the results speak for themselves. Great essential lens in my opinion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Favorite Lens I bought this lens a month ago and I'm amazed how good it is. This lens is built like a tank, all metal, but not so heavy that it's tiring to carry. The focus is very quick, even in low light settings. The pictures are amazingly sharp. Makes perfect portrait shoots as faces come out tack sharp and the background has the perfect bokeh.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed I've had this lens for 18 months. The focal ring constantly comes loose and impacts image quality... especially when I'm moving around and shooting sports and fast moving objects. I feel like my Tamron is far more reliable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Lens I bought this lens to use during sporting events and the pictures have turned out great. It is worth every penny for this lens to capture that moment that lasts forever.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of the finest lenses I am not sure how improved is this upon USM II, but this is an excellent choice who love portrait or landscape photography. Really great image quality. I love this with my 5DSR. A must have

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor Indoor Performance I bought this lens for shooting sporting events, both indoor and outdoor. In outdoor light it seems to work fine, but it is very disappointing indoors. I've probably thrown away half the shots I've taken with it. Autofocus is very slow and erratic. Not you what you expect for the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tack sharp lens I purchase this lens and took some shots, it has very accurate fast focus for both out door and indoor, images are tack sharp and excellent color rendered. I don't care it has the same optic line up same as Mark II, as long as it can produce excellent images, why should I care about same optic line up as said by some reviews ?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for the landscape photographer Excellent lens for the landscape photographer. It is big and heavy to accommodate the f2.8 capability so be sure you need the f2.8. I like this one a lot. You will capture great images with this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best purchase I’ve made in awhile As expected this lens is truly amazing and a great addition to any photographers kit. Definitely pretty heavy to carry around but that’s to be expected. Would highly suggest to anyone who may be on the fence.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from EF 70-200 F/2.8 L IS III USM LENS I really haven’t used it yet other then two test photos. The lens glass looks great to me, and both focus , zoom rings are nice and smooth. I can say that the only negative that I have was the price. Buy once cry once I say, sometimes you get what you pay for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Great Telephoto Zoom! After considering this purchase for about a year, I purchased the 70-200 IS III USM about 5 months ago and love shooting with it! The zoom is smooth and easy to use and the autofocus is superb.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The greatest thing since sliced bread. This lens gives such an incredible range of situational uses. From having a beautiful portrait with a shallow depth of field to getting use of a full 200mm telephoto reach. Coupled with the 2x extender it can really do amazing things. I think the biggest thing that shocked me was how incredible this lens is in low light. Shooting with a Canon 1DX MKIII.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply the best!! I have purchased each version of the 70-200mm, the third version is by far the fastest AF system. This lens is also lighter than its previous versions. I am satisfied with this purchase and would recommend everyone to buy the 70-200mm III !!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of my favorite L series lenses One awesome piece of glass. The lens emanates quality from the fit and finish to it's weight. The lens I received was in "new" condition and was only missing the original Canon box. Focus is fast and crystal clear on my 5DIV and EOSR. If you can lug it around, you will be pleased with the excellent photos it takes. Image stabilization is very good but didn't seem as good as my newer lenses. It is very sharp but not as sharp as my 85mm 1.4 prime. Great purchase, if you buy it right, you will have no regrets and bigger biceps from carrying it around.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Image stabilization and lens coatings Worked excellent right out of the box. Been happy with the quality of the lens and the condition of it. It certainly is an upgrade for me from my first gen to this third generation lens . Best focusing of all the lenses I have and works well with my Canon ESO R.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very nice addition to your Glass. I use this for portraits, landscape, events, and family. It can actually be used as a point and click camera. Seriously, this thing focuses quickly and I have not ran across any distortion, let alone the operator's, regardless of what my composition, er lack of sometimes, is. It shoots sharp, fast, focused.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy Lens I really pretty happy with the lens, I had one the same for about 12 years then the zoom went out, everything got grainy. So far the only problem I been having is it seems to blur out some times. Maybe its just me, lol Hope this one last as long as my first one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent lens I've owned this 70 200 2.8 III for several years and am pleased with how it performed on my older Canon R and now my R5 that I've owned for about 18 months. This lens does an excellent job for event and fairly close wildlife photos. It also performs well with my 1.4X and 2X tele converters. The lens is sharp, focuses fast and accurately and has lower flare than expected. As others have noted, this lens is all metal and relatively heavy. To me the extra weight is worth the superior build quality. Also the lens does not pump and accordingly does not suck in dust.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome glass but not a fixed focal length lens... Use this lens (non IS version) for every concert I photograph. Amazing glass. Unsure why it is categorized as a "fixed focal length" lens when it is a 70mm - 200mm zoom....??
