📷 Canon EF 80-200mm f/2.8 L Optical Zoom Lens Review

This lens was not sharp at all, when I received this lens I tested it before my wedding next week and was very disappointed. And the ZOOM ring was very loud. I think it will go badly with Canon 70-200mm 2.8 III

I originally bought this when I was hired to shoot sports for a local newspaper. Would highly recommend for beginners or those on a budget who don't want to spend twice as much on a more modern 70-200mm lens that does the same.

This lens was fantastic. I've owned it with both my 6D and 5Dmkiii. For a 20 year old lens it still holds up in my opinion and outperforms newer versions in color and contrast. I have shot over 60 weddings with this lens and have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. The savings are great and I never felt like it was lacking due to the lack of image stabilization. Buy it! You will not regret it!

This is the first version of the legendary line. It's heavy and built like a tank, its autofocus is faster than any non-sonic lens I've ever used, and it delivers excellent sharpness and color reproduction despite the 1993 replica lens I bought. There's a reason they called it the "magic drainpipe"! If you've got unlimited cash, the new 70-200 f/2.8 IS III USM and new RF are the only Canon 70-200s that are significantly better. Both are lighter and cost between $1,000 and $2,000 more than this…
