Pros:
|
Excellent lens, good for low light.
|
|
Cons:
|
On the heavy side, but when travelling I take my EF 85 f1.8 instead.

|

I looked at all of Canon's 70-200 L lenses. I liked the 70-200 f2.8 L IS the best. I sometimes use the 1.4X extender with it.

Pros:
|
"L" glass, long zoom range, high quality, takes Canon extenders 1.4X and 2X. Push-pull zoom. (I don't mind this.)
|
|
Cons:
|
Light colour draws attention. Large size at 400mm. Would like a built-in sliding lens hood.

I exchanged a 70-300 DO IS zoom for this one. Although the 70-300 DO is a good lens, I feel that for $400.00 more Canadian dollars I have better value and quality with the 100-400 L IS. I use a Canon 10D and Elan 7e.

Pros:
|
Rear lens element does not move when zooming or focusing, acts like a seal to keep dust away from camera's sensor. Much lighter and smaller than my favourite 100-400L IS. Black colour, 58mm filter size. Comes with lens hood and soft case. Works quite well with Canon 500D close up lens.
|
|
Cons:
|
It seems to me that the price could be lower. If you're first in line, you usually pay more! Unable to use Canon extenders with it.
|
|
|
This is an excellent walk-around and travel lens. Carry it with you all day. You will get more photos with this one! Much more discreet (stealthy?) than a white L lens. As for sharpness issues, to me it looks the same at f 8 as a 70-200L IS, in the centre. I use a Canon 10D. In a digital workflow, USM is used for any lens, L included.
