USM lens released in November 1993. Featuring a new optical system design, the new zoom lens delivers an expanded zoom range with a 24 mm wide-angle focal length, ideally suiting it to digital image sizes, while also maintaining or improving on the outstanding image quality of the superceded model.

and advanced amateurs, yet at a reasonable price. One artificial crystal fluorite and two UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass lens elements in its optical system eliminate secondary spectrum, which is often the Achilles' heel of telephoto lenses resulting lower picture quality. These elements assure high resolution and high contrast throughout the entire zoom range.

excellent performance for all general purposes. The compactness and light weight make it an excellent travel companion. High-performance- L-series telephoto zoom lens combining light weight and compactness with an f/4 maximum aperture. Inner focusing and the ring USM enable quick and quiet autofocusing. Also- a circular polarizing filter can be attached and used without difficulty because the front lens element does not rotate during focusing. The tripod collar (sold separately) is the same one used with the EF 300mm f/4L USM.

This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need.

Advantages: Superb build quality, image quality and incredible image stabiliser Disadvantages: Big and heavy and very conspicuous. It's blinging. Eats batteries too.

Build Quality
-------------------
The IS version of this lens is pretty much identical in most respects to the non-IS version, except for the additional £200 it burns. It is the same size and almost the same weight as the non-IS version and optically almost the same. What it does have is Canon's most advanced image stabilisation system yet (as of 2007).

For the 5D, you get the advertised 70-200 but using the Canon 1.4x MkII teleconverter doesn't hurt the image quality noticably so you can have a useful 280mm f5.6 lens. I can't say the same for your wallet though, the teleconverter is another £200. ...

Advantages: Light weight, Sharp, Fast, Reasonably Priced Disadvantages: Not Image Stabilised, Tripod Collar not included
I have been using my 70mm-200mm F4.0 L for roughly 2 years on a 20D body.
It is very quick to focus and is very sharp throughout the focal range. The bokeh is very soft at F/4 giving a soft, out of focus background.
The lens is extremely light, making it easy to transport.
I find it an extremely useful lens, due to the extensive range from 70mm-200mm and use it with a 1.4x converter to create a total length of 280mm. I personally use my lens to ... ...to beautifully. The build quality of this lens is excellent - which means no wobbling and smooth controls.

Advantages: Image Quality, Comparative size and weight, value for money, Focus Speed Disadvantages: None!
The Canon 70-200mm f/4L is a fantastic lens for the money. The glass is of the same superb optical quality as it's bigger brother, the f/2.8 version, while keeping size and weight down. The Ultrasonic Motor (USM) means focusing is silent and blisteringly fast, able to easily keep up with the quickest bird or motor race. Some photographers that are used to using Canon's top of the range 'L' glass may be disappointed to find that the lens is not entirely ...
