Review on Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM πŸ“· Telephoto Fixed Lens: Ideal for Canon SLR Cameras by Eh Chit ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

I thought for a long time which lens to take for close-up shooting. I don’t have a lot of staged shots, mostly they are just people on the street, a la reportage. The white lens, as already noted, attracts attention. The choice fell on 200 and 135. I leaned in favor of 200mm because I own a 100L macro fix, which is why the 135mm focal length itself is not very relevant. Like any other fix, it requires an approach to the composition of the frame. In my case, 200l is a great addition to the existing telephoto. Verdict: if you know why you need 200mm, you have a desire to work with a fixed, or you just need a high-quality, relatively inexpensive telephoto for close-up shooting - I strongly recommend trying this model in the store, if you "make friends" with it - the result won't disappoint. For examples of pictures - you are welcome to the page, according to the marks 200 mm L

Pros
  • 1. Sharpness. And right away, from aperture 2.8. 2. Weight. Not heavy, not light, just right. 3. Color. I already have a white 70-300l, increased attention is tired. 4. Fast and accurate focusing, both in full frame and crop 1.6. 5. The price ranges from 25 to 27k, which is democratic for optics of this class.
Cons
  • There are no definite shortcomings. As part of the quibbles, I personally would like to see a tripod foot and a rubberized "skirt" for attaching to the mount. I don’t deliberately write about the stabilizer, its absence does not bother me.
