Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product, I advise you to try it.

Why did I include the focus length in the list of deficiencies? What can I say: Here in the description of "Kenon," it kind of neatly tells us that this is a lens with a relatively long focus, and then it goes on to blah blah blah and what a drop-dead picture quality it has for such a price, and after all, this is the "L" series, where to go, grab it while there is a type. and obviously without any advertisement, about aperture being equal to 4 for the full interval. As a result, I hurried to…

Pros
  • construction quality, lens hood, built in Japan, in my opinion, good and tenacious autofocus, manual autofocus, iron and glass, The switch on the lens includes two autofocus settings, one for when the subject is close and one for when it is further away. Lovely bokeh. There are no "washers" in the blurry soft plastic. The stunning hue is not white, as seen in the picture; rather, it is slightly gray, yet it looks stunning.
Cons
  • filters for the "67" thread, regardless of focal length, can be quite pricey.

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

The lens is very impressive. At this price point, it is virtually hard to find a Canon telephoto lens that has image quality that is similar to this one. Outstanding image quality - already from f/4 is completely operational over the entire focal length range. In addition, both the color rendition and the contrast are excellent. When the image is processed in post-production, any smears that appear are the result of the photographer's shaky hands and not the lens itself. The assembly and the…

Pros
  • Quality of the images Construct with quality and dependability. The case in point PRICE Ultrasonic Motor (USM) with Quick Autofocus Switch Minimum Focusing Distance of 1.2 Meters 3 meters You can always sell without any troubles if your bokeh is good because it is in demand on the secondary market.
Cons
  • They are not available on the secondary market at that price point of 20,000. Is it the absence of a tripod ring? There is also a lack of protection against dust and moisture, but these are not considered to be drawbacks.

I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

Very convenient tele-zoom. I use with 7d. Shows himself great. Very sharp. Unlike 17-40L, it does not require any sharpening in post-processing. Very fast and quiet USM. The lens hood still protects the lens from rain and snow. Despite the low aperture, you can shoot even in the evening - there would be a desire and straight arms. Pros below: Lightweight, durable, comfortable, beautifully paints and washes the background, but sharp, predictable, the focus switch (3-infinity) is very helpful…

Great product, best quality.

In fact, it is not white, but a pleasant beige shade. After it, I want to throw all my "budget" optics in the trash. Yes, there is no stabilizer, I want more aperture, sometimes there is not enough focal length, but it costs completely different money. The cheapest L-series lens at the moment, but this does not affect the quality of the pictures. Has some pros Low price for L-series quality. Aperture 4 is constant at all focal lengths. Not too heavy. The thread for the light filter is 67 mm…

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

Excellent lens and went to take pictures on the first day. It’s very convenient that, compared to my previous lens, you don’t have to climb into the snowdrifts for a good shot, because you can just zoom in! The photos I took are included in the review. Its pros: Sharpness. Nice bag included. Metal is used instead of plastic. Blend included. And in general, the lens is a solid Plus Cons: Metal is a huge plus, but in winter your hands get very cold when you hold the lens. Heavy and can not be…

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

I decided to write a review after using it for almost a year, it was taken for reportage shooting, it is ideal for sports events, filming concerts, it will be a bit dark for shooting indoors, especially for cropped cameras. It attracts attention, plus or minus, everyone decides for himself. Got pros: + L-ka, the quality is felt + Constant aperture, a huge plus, especially after switching from "vacuum cleaners", "trunks" is simply delightful + No matter how strange it sounded, but on Deshman…

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

Best option when first transitioning from something like 18-200 3.5-5.6 or similar as a FR part 2 item. 2.8 is lighter and a stub is needed, but this is _completely_ different money. Got pros: Sharp, contrasty, fast focus. Hood and case included. No vignetting. Excellent picture throughout. Light weight, compact. Cons: There is no stub - for very distant objects, a tripod is mandatory, in my opinion. 4L - a bit dark for shooting in cloudy weather, or raise the ISO.

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

I hang on Sony A7s2 through an adapter. It was immediately obvious that autofocus would not work, and the stub would fail, so the choice fell on this little guy. For reporting - fire. (photos run through lightroom, so not quite objective in terms of colors) :) Has pros: Lightweight, compact, comfortable lens for reporting. Shooting events is fun. Sharp at F4, colors are pleasing. Has some cons Less than a month of use - dust particles. Not critical, but not cool.

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

I took it a week ago, before that there was a whale 18-55 and a helios 44m, now I don’t part with the camera every day with a new lens, I am especially glad that the camera is ideal as a portrait lens. I can take a picture of the car numbers from the 9th floor, very convenient for distant purposes. Has pros: Clarity, color reproduction, fast focus even in the dark, design, lens hood, excellent portraiture, attracts the attention of girls) Has cons: Switch 1.2 meters and 3 meters. Many…

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

I bought more than six months ago on 5D Mk ||. I am very pleased with the lens, I took it from my hands, but in perfect condition, without front-back focuses and other nonsense. Works flawlessly. I don’t know who says that it’s not protected from moisture, dust. Even it doesn’t suck dust from me and on it I shot landscapes in freezing rain, snow, rain and everything is fine with it. With regards to the hood. I saw that they were complaining about it. People, the question is, do you even think…

Pros
  • A sharp lens, the bokeh for hole 4 is perfect, the work of af is almost without misses (and if there are misses, then my hands are already to blame). Build quality and in general, the L series is quality in itself. There is dust and moisture protection. The picture is extremely nice and justifies its price. Fast ultrasleep that works without noise and weight. Light.
Cons
  • They don't exist at all. The only thing is that there is no tripod foot in the kit, it is difficult to find it.

I bought second-hand from the first user. I don't regret it at all. I use it regularly. He is a permanent resident in my photo bag. It is very convenient to photograph them at concerts. Do not hope that this device is intended for photography. No. Rather, its purpose is "reportage / portrait" paired with some kind of wider zoom (eg, 24-70). A distance of 200mm is not enough for close-up shots of "squirrels/birds/airplanes". This already needs 100-300 or more.

Pros
  • He draws very beautifully. Not heavy. Convenient controls. The optimal distance between the "short" and "long" ends. Great for taking portraits. Moreover, both in nature and indoors. Nice bokeh. Very sharp.
Cons
  • Probably white body color. Draws too much attention. I don’t indicate the absence of a stabilizer, because this "bells and whistles" was not originally provided for in this lens. For this there are other 70-200. But still, it would be better with a stub . Although the question of price immediately arises here. Now I would take with a stub.

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

The lens is awesome. For such a price, it is almost impossible to find a Canon telephoto comparable to this in image quality now. Excellent image quality - already from f / 4 is fully operational throughout the entire range of focal lengths. Color rendition and contrast are also in perfect order. In post-processing, no jambs come out from the side of the lens, only from the crooked hands of the photographer :) Very high-quality assembly and materials, nothing anywhere backlash and does not hang

Pros
  • Image quality Build quality, reliability Case included PRICE USM motor - fast autofocus switch min. focus distance 1.2 meters 3 meters Good bokeh Demanded on the secondary, you can always sell without any problems
Cons
  • At a price of 20k, they are not on the secondary market. Is that the lack of a tripod ring, as well as dust and moisture protection, but these are not disadvantages

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Impressions from the lens are simply unreal, I want to yell and jump for joy like a moron, because the picture simply has no words, it is used permanently with a Canon EOS 5D sub-frame camera, I am very satisfied and I advise everyone who likes to take pictures on trips, loves to take portraits, you are with this lens make friends 1000000%, I advise! I advise! I advise! My rating for this glass is 10/10 points !

Pros
  • Very sharp picture at f / 4, color rendering is unrealistically high, there is no veneer, unrealistic sharpness throughout the frame at f / 4, at all other values ​​\u200b\u200bit makes no sense to say everything is at a high level, very fast and silent USM motor, the assembly of this miracle is made on all 10/10, nothing backlash, does not hold together, convenient rubberized focusing ring, anti-glare coating, hits right on target, for 10 shootings on the street there is not a single miss, not a single hint of lubrication, you can talk about the advantages of this lens for a very long time , but why if everything says one letter L and a red ring that means that the lens is professional both for crop and of course for full frame !
Cons
  • It is ideal, if not to talk about aperture, but that's another story, another lens, other money!

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Some write that there is no stub and a wide angle, but it’s 70-200 without IS, and in general they used to shoot without AF and IS, and it turned out great, they got used to the technique doing everything, and for extra. functions and luminosity have to pay extra. I chose for a long time and by 18-55 I took 70-200, I never regretted it. If anyone does not know, the white color of the lens is for less temperature effect on Fluorite lenses.

Pros
  • Excellent lens with constant aperture and pattern, fast autofocus, works great indoors with an external flash, portrait lens, no moving parts, which is convenient to use with a polarizer.
Cons
  • Of the shortcomings, if only it is heavy and the lens hood would be prettier.

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

I recommend it for those who like to shoot portraits on the street, in the studio, but not in small rooms. Also for those who pay more attention to details than landscapes. Definitely worth the money (19300 in my case) I realized a long time ago that it is better to buy an inexpensive carcass and a good lens with an equal budget than a good carcass and an inexpensive lens! I use it with a Canon 60D cropped camera - I am completely satisfied with such a bunch.

Pros
  • - a great lens, it feels like a reliable, high-quality thing in the hands, unlike cheaper telephoto lenses; - no backlash, jamming, etc. everything is clear and correct! - quickly focuses, at any shooting angle. - the quality of the photo is simply amazing! - convenient focal lengths for capturing details, portraits and reporting. They also like to shoot the city - not the landscape, of course, but the details of buildings, narrow streets, etc.
Cons
  • Objectively evaluating - I don’t find a single one, although when choosing from several when buying, one was not much inferior in front / back focus to the other. So you need to pay attention to this.

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

"Well, it's just some kind of holiday" (c). Definitely my favorite lens. In the hand lies like a native, all adjustments are smooth and precise, ergonomics are just on top. The picture is sharp and clear at all FRs and at any aperture value. Constant aperture, tenacious and peppy AF. Shooting sports events, squirrel birds, planes on the glide path, animals in enclosures - this is what it was created for (certainly not for photographing hummingbirds from 10 meters at 85% of the frame). As soon…

Pros
  • The entire series of these lenses is beyond praise. From sharpness and color reproduction to ergonomics and indestructibility.

I am satisfied, the product fully corresponds to the description.

In fact, the lens is gorgeous. But you need to understand that this is not the format that you can take with you for a walk effortlessly) It may not bother someone to carry 2 kg (together with the camera), but still think twice if you are going to purchase this miracle exclusively for home use - Hiking. Although if you have a car and a tripod, then the process will be more enjoyable)

Pros
  • A lot of them. And quality, and soft bokeh, and L glass again. The color rendition is pleasant, in general, the pictures from it are just awesome. And the fact that the color is white - on the contrary, it's nice - everyone pays attention))
Cons
  • The only downside for me is the weight. I won’t write about the stub - this, sorry, is already different money and, again, a different weight category.

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

I took it used and did not regret it. Excellent glass in every way! An ideal portrait photographer, very good for shooting animals and birds in the zoo, all kinds of genre scenes. Excellent works in tandem with the x1.4 extender, it was in this bundle that I used it for photo hunting (there is no telephoto yet) and quite successfully. But still, photography is not his forte, the lack of IP affects. Bottom line: Excellent, versatile glass, which I recommend to everyone!

Pros
  • Design, price / quality, sharpness
Cons
  • Haven't found it yet.

A good product at a good price, I advise you to try it.

I use it with Canon 7D for professional reportage shooting of motorsport events, as a lens for racing - just right, the distance is more than enough, the ultrasonic motor clings to focus quickly and accurately, I don’t worry about rain and dust at all. Sometimes it smears, but anyone who removes dynamics of this kind will sin with this. I tried to shoot nature and portraits, in principle, worthy, if a portrait, then only the street, if nature, then of course I would like more mm. And of course,

Pros
  • Fast focus, dustproof
Cons
  • suitable for crops with certain specifics of shooting, for example, motorsport, maybe a portrait on the street, no more.

The product is really good, I'm glad I bought it.

I shot a little, but so far I didn’t get much pleasure. The focus misses due to my fault, after all, the TV set. I forgot to add, I shot it from my hand, but if I held my hands firmly or from the stop, the pictures turned out quite sharp. There is no stub. There the price is different. . 28-135 is not inferior to this lens in sharpness and color reproduction. I didn’t notice any particular sharpness compared to 28-135. It wins with focus, you can shoot without approaching the object. I took…

Pros
  • I don’t know what to write about the merits yet, I bought it recently. Before that, I shot 28-135. I was very pleased with the quality of the glass.
Cons
  • Until I know, I have to get used to it. Haven't found it yet!
