70-200mm f/2.8L IS

[frankspain2]

<p>Hello photographers..If you have pictures that were taken with a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS in your portfolio, I will like to view them. I am trying to have an idea of what this lens is capable of. Please and thank you.</p>

<p>It is capable of all most anything from Landscape to portrait see <a href="../photo/7998951">this</a> a very versatile lens and the f4 although not as good for portrait is even sharper see <a href="http://imagesinlightnw.blogspot.com/2009/03/sharpest-zoom-ever-ef-70-200-f4-l-is.html">this</a></p>

If you can afford it and carry it, just buy it.</p>

<p>the L F4(not IS) is much more compact and lighter than the 2.8 IS. I can say sharper also. I use both. for travel I pack the f4</p>

<p>If weight is a consideration 70-200/4 IS 760g vs 70-200/2.8 IS 1470g... that is very heavy to carry around.</p>

<p>probably the best all - you - can - do lens on the market for a canon.</p>

<p>The other one would be to also get a 24-70 2.8 and your set!</p>

<p>I dotn have a images taken with close to me..but heres one take with a 24-70..same result is to be expect with the 70-200 IS</p>

<p>ISO 100 / F11 / 70mm</p><div></div>

A search on this site will reveal that this is an astounding lens (you can factor in weight and cost as you wish). A search on Flickr will reveal several hundred photos for you to look at - besides the obvious ones of the camera itself you will see landscape, portraits, action...

<p dir="ltr">It is capable of doing everything. It's the photographer which is the limiting factor. I had all versions and while all are good, this is the best. Here's one pic that I like. </p>

<p>Now if we only knew how much was processing over what the lens produced straight out of the camera. That's the only way to know how much work that lens will present to the photographer after the shoot. If the shots posted here are straight out of the camera, no sharpening or retouching, then this is truly the best results I've ever seen from a lens.</p>

<p>100% crops would also tell a more truthful story as well.</p>

<p>All 4 of the Canon 70-200's are great lenses, the only real differentiator is the weight, max aperture, and IS.<br />The 2.8IS is heavier than the others, but it can do some things the others can't because of the 2.8 aperture and IS.<br />It's great for: portraits, landscapes, zoos on a crop body, indoor performances and events, macro with an extension tube, indoor sports, and outdoor sports day OR NIGHT (usually for the nearer action) <a href="http://www.goprices.net/favorites/images/IMG_8863_fin.jpg">http://www.goprices.net/favorites/images/IMG_8863_fin.jpg</a></p>

<p>It's hard to do the 2.8IS justice with my skills, but the first 6 of these are shot with it:<br /><a href="http://www.goprices.net/kim">http://www.goprices.net/kim</a><br />And all of these but the first:<br /><a href="http://www.goprices.net/dance2008">http://www.goprices.net/dance2008</a></p>
