Summary: Canon EF Mount, Zoom Lens, for 35 mm SLR, Focus: Autofocus, Max Aperture: f/4, 16 Elements in 13 Groups, Filter size: 67 mm, Weigh...
Overall Rating: 
With all the optical brilliance of the larger f/2.8 aperture version, the 70-200mm f/4.0L is a zoom lens with great possibilities for portraiture and travel. All of the features of the bigger lens are present here as well, including ultra-low dispersion glass, internal focus & of course fulltime manual focusing override.

Professional Performance at an Affordable Price. - by aashok
- Overall Rating:
-
Pros: Superior fluorite element, low weight, f4 constant aperture, solid construction, excellent price.
Cons: Lens collar not included, no image stabilization, dirty white color.
Reviews By
Bottom Line: This is a versatile, relatively lightweight 70-200mm lens. It has professional quality optics delivering a remarkably good performance. And at $550, it is a bargain.
Review: My Buying Decision: After the unfortunate incident involving my late EF 75-300mm lens, a heavy aluminum wall sculpture and my neurotic kitten, I was in the market for a new telephoto zoom lens. If you buy any Canon digital SLR camera (or... (more)
Best Medium Telephoto for EOS - by bjcook
- Overall Rating:
-
Pros: Constant aperture, not as big as 2.8 lens, "L" quality
Cons: White color draws attention, on DSLR's it starts kind of long at 112mm
Reviews By
Bottom Line: It's not expensive by photographer terms but a chunk of change to the rest of us. But it is worth it.
Review: You know the problem with camera lenses? They're never quite long enough, just when you think you have the lens that will reach out there you find yourself wanting just a bit further. The problem is unless you're a pro or have $3000 to invest in your... (more)
Excellent image quality, but with 1 problem...focusing - by DCannon
- Overall Rating:
-
Pros: Exceedingly sharp, great color/contrast, light, smooth operating, internal focus, price
Cons: Many seem to have autofocus inaccuracy issues (discussed in review)
Reviews By
Bottom Line: If you're fortunate enough get one that autofocuses accurately, it's an excellent lens. Razor sharp with superb color/contrast.
Review: I've been a professional photographer for around 30 years and have bounced between Nikon and Canon systems over that time with Leica thrown in at one point. But overall I've been predominantly a Nikon user. I used to work for an optical company and did... (more)
This Big White Bazooka Won My Heart (And My Eyes!) - by profaudio1
- Overall Rating:
-
Pros: Sharp, Sharper, Sharpest... What it lacks in speed is more than compensated in image quality.
Cons: After the soreness in the back pocket healed, NONE.
Reviews By
Bottom Line: if you are a serious photog needing a long lens that's ready for almost anything that Mother Nature can dish out, this may be your best choice for telephoto applications.
Review: Ok, what can I say? It isn’t cheap, but especially if you shoot outdoors, this is the ultimate EOS tele zoom lens for under a kilo-buck. (In fact, it was actually under $700.00 US) In the world of Canon EOS EF lenses, there are three... (more)
A great lens choice for any advanced/professional photographer… - by fashfoto
- Overall Rating:
-
Pros: Light weight for its zoom ratio and quality; one of the best!
Cons: White, black, white, black…looks like a zebra!
Reviews By
Bottom Line: The image quality and focal length range make this a highly desirable lens.
Review: Over a thirty year period of shooting professionally (glamour and fashion), of all the lenses that I owned (plenty), two lenses were my real money makers. Depending on the brand of equipment that I was using at the time they were the 300mm F2.8 (or 280mm... (more)
Professional grade lens at an affordable price - by aki1
- Overall Rating:
-
Pros: Image quality is sharp, vivid colors, light for 70-200, solid build, fast & quiet focus
Cons: Price (but worth it)
Reviews By
Bottom Line: If you're looking for Canon's highest grade professional quality lens, this is it! Great outdoor & day time lens and still performs superb at night.
Review: I currently shoot with Canon 20D (x1.6 crop factor) and have been using the 18-55mm kit lens & the 50mm f1.8 mkII lens (much sharper then the kit). I've rented few lenses including the 70-200 f2.8 L IS (nice but quite heavy) and the more I used it,... (more)

Now I have “L” Fever!!
Review: Well after owning a Sigma 70-300mm APO Macro DG and getting this lens, it’s definitely a different league. I do think that the Sigma lens is a great all around consumer lens for the price, but it just wasn’t cutting it for me. I quickly... (more)
Excellent "L" Tele Lens With Affordable Price - by indy_500
- Overall Rating:
-
Pros: Great bokeh, very sharp contrast & color. Fast and accurate AF with silent USM.
Cons: The lens hood kinda ugly but I got 67mm flower hood from ebay.Love it!
Reviews By
Review: I like this Canon white color body, sometimes made people look back and you felt great of it. People noticed that you are serious with photography. And this lens is not heavy to carry around the neck for long time. I compared this lens w/ 17-85 f/3-5.6... (more)
Good value but I would invest in the 2.8 version. - by motomille
- Overall Rating:
-
Pros: Light weight, Image Quality, Constant f/4
Cons: f/4 and not f/2.8, no IS (image stabilization)
Reviews By
Review: The L series lenses rock. I absolutely won't go back to the regular EF lenses, especially when shooting in RAW format above 8 Mega Pixel. The range of this lens is key. It's a telephoto you must have in your bag. The constant f/4 is nice but I would... (more)

Review: I am an aviation photography enthusiast and had been using the Canon Zoom Telephoto EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III Autofocus lens for a little over a year. Though this lens was an inexpensive foray into a fairly powerful zoom, its autofocus was lacking in... (more)
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM Lens - by tt81156
- Overall Rating:

Pros: Great lens, the absolute bargain lens in Canon's L series range
Cons: For the price NONE, if you want f/2.8 then spend twice as much
Reviews By
Review: This is a great lens, it was the first Canon L lens I purchased and I have absolutely no regrets. This lens focuses well in low light, has good bokeh, is great for portraits and always produces beautiful results. For some examples of what this lens is... (more)

Review: If you own a Digital SLR then this is a lens you should buy. For LESS money than some EF-S plastic lenses you get this rock solid, razor sharp, excellent product. I shoot at very fast speed at F4.5 with this lens and the images are razor sharp. No need... (more)
