Canon EF 70-200 2.8L Galleries

Canon EF 70-200 2.8L : I finally added the 70-200 2.8L in the fall 2005 after selling my 70-200 4L. While I have been happy with the 4L the 2.8L is a much better lens. It is sharper and the extra stop adds so much in the form of being able to control depth of field and of course makes it possible to shoot at lower ISO. I also have the 135 2L and the two are close in performance. The 135L still looks that little bit sharper to me and is a favorite for portraits due the great bohek. But in many shooting situations the 70-200 2.8L adds so much in the form of versatility. When looking at the 70-200s the 2.8L IS of course was an option but I chose not to get it after trying it out. I find the non-IS sharper and easier to handle.. Perhaps a non-issue for some but I found the IS just that little bit too heavy. While the IS is paramount to some I found it a bit gizmo like and found the picture quality better for the non-IS. Lately I've used this lens with a 1.4x converter on the 5D with acceptable results. I've shot sports, events, some scenics, a concert, theater and much more with the lens and warmly recommend it.
