- The Photographers LensVerified BuyerReviewed by MEKELLY00 - January 21, 2020
You know I have dreamed about owning this lens for YEARS! I never thought I would get to a place where I would, and now I own it. Buyers remorse.... NON EXISTENT!!! This lens has yet to leave my camera. Its crisp, fast, and flaw less. I try to find issues in images every time I put it through some low light or fast focus situation and this thing just keeps right up. Gear matters ladies and gents. Don't let those wannabees with their mid-range glass allow you to settle. I used to hear other professionals refer to this lens as "The Photographers Lens" or the "Holy Grail" of any respectable photographer's glass arsenal. I used to laugh, but now I can say that those statements are completely and totally ACCURATE!!! IF you can afford this lens, or better yet grab it on sale like I did THEN DO IT!!! You will not be disappointed.

EF-28mm1,8 USM or a 50mm 1.8 USM. Now I am going to put it to the test while shooting hopefully at some sports events like winter surfing and snowmobiling; not to mention, an upcoming Peabo Bryson concert.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. - Great and versatile sharp lens.Verified BuyerReviewed by REB4169 - August 23, 2019
This lens is so sharp and very versatile at the focal range it covers. I am currently utilizing the 70-200 F2.8 iii on my crop sensor canon body and it's till such a great lens. Pics of the moon to portraits, landscapes to a decent job at macro photography this lens has beautiful bokeh and because of the new coating lens flare is minimized more than previous versions. Must mention tho this is quite heavy. Not the heaviest in its class on the market however, do be sure that you need an F2.8 vs the F4 because the extra heft you could be saving makes a big difference. You do get a good bang for the buck out of the lens and having the ability to shoot in lower light is a great benefit even if it’s a “just in case” if the budget allows.
