High-performance, L-series telephoto zoom lens combining light weight and compactness with an f/4 maximum aperture. Inner focusing and the ring USM enable quick and quiet autofocusing. Also, a circular polarizing filter can be attached and used without difficulty because the front lens element does not rotate during focusing. The tripod collar (sold separately) is the same one used with the EF 300mm f/4L USM.
Pros: Light Solid Build Fast AF Sharp at any aperture and focal length
Cons: Tripod collar not included
Great mid to tele lens to use in real life usage. Doesn't bog you down like an f/2.8 version of the 70-200. Great value.

Pros: Light, sharp, well built, image stabilization, and smooth operation.
Cons: The tripod collar is not included, but is available as an accessory.
A great addition to a landscape/wildlife photographer's bag that values light weight, quality equipment which can be transported by foot over many miles.
There is nothing that screams professional photographer more than a white or light gray lens hangi... read full review
