Perfect product for any user!

I am new to photography, but I immediately wanted to take something from the professional series, but not very expensive, because I felt sorry for the money - I would suddenly abandon my hobby. For a long time I chose and compared different models, selected a lens for hunting. This one came up perfectly - despite the little experience, the pictures turned out to be a feast for the eyes! I was immediately inspired by them and continued to photograph. You can’t get close to animals and birds, and

Pros
  • Bright, gorgeous bokeh, fast focus, excellent photo quality, relatively inexpensive
Cons
  • It’s heavy, after several hours of photographing with your hands you get very tired, there is no stabilizer and it’s sad with such a weight

High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

Cool lens, is just a feast for the eyes, mostly in the open and I’ even suitable for photography)) But still, with it) it’ pictures

Pros
  • -working aperture 2.8 - sharpness - bokeh chic - magnesium case -elic colors - lightning-fast autofocus -elka-fix)
Cons
  • after all, 200 a tripod and everything is buzzing!

Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

about the inability to shoot without a tripod - lies, example: Jpg excellent portraiture, example: Jpg and fool around with landscapes, but an example: Jpg

Pros
  • find anything better for 26k.
Cons
  • the lens hood is constantly twisted crookedly, for the elk, canon could make the thread more convenient.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

I'm not a pro photographer, so I can't judge by any objective numbers, but purely subjectively, not just about macro, monitors or for printing, you get simply gorgeous pictures,

Pros
  • It is clear that it is well built and there is good glass, the clarity of the image almost to the edges (and not just in the center, as is the case with many glasses), and secondly, the sharpness itself, paired with a large matrix, When shooting handheld, you usually have to crank up the ISO to stay at a certain shutter speed and not blur the picture, with this stabilization I fall below the usual quite confidently.
Cons
  • but among my set of kenon lenses this is the first time when it is impossible to use it If you're going for macro photography, consider lighting. 2.8 gives useless sharpness, for macro you have to turn f16 +, not that it's a minus, it's just physics, but nonetheless.

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

This is a classic, and everything has been said about it for a long time. If 200 mm is your working focal length, take it and do not hesitate. By the way, I made good friends with the 1.4x III extender. Has pros: An excellent compact fast telephoto lens with beautiful color and bokeh - and this set of qualities is more than enough if you shoot at such a focal length. Cons below: Despite belonging to the L-series, the lens is not waterproof. There is no stabilizer, but this is a time-tested…

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

There are several alternatives to this lens. But these are not only fixes, but also EF 70-200 zooms, of which there are 4 pieces differing in aperture and the presence or absence of a stabilizer. All of them, except for the EF 70-200 F4 without a stub, are much more expensive, weigh more, but provide convenience when choosing focal lengths. According to some experts, the 2 version 70-200 F2.8 is equal to or better than the EF 200 F2.8, but significantly more expensive and heavier. Therefore…

Pros
  • Sharpness from 2.8, fast focusing, beautiful background blur
Cons
  • No design flaws

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…

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.
