canon 70-200mm f4 IS
-
Reports on all the reviews would indicate this (Canon 70-200mm F4 IS )is a quality lens. Has anyone on the forum actually used one or bought one recently.
Cheers,
MJI have the Non IS version of this lens and it is stunning
Exceptionally quick and no where near as bulky or heavy as the 2.8 version
I really like it
I have the 2.8 and it’s the best lens I’ve ever come across. Wouldn’t swap it for any other lens.

I have had the non-IS for about 6 years. Mega sharp, brilliant colours. It’s so much better than the F2.8 version IS and non-IS – which I used for 4 years as f1 photographer. That’s an over-rated over expensive lens. Only useful if you absolutely need F2.8. If you don’t the F4 version is mega. Look at the specs, it has a flourite element the F2.8 version doesn’t.
I have just bought the F4 IS version and am keeping the non-IS I have as well. I won’t get value in selling it. It seems a bit heavier, though not much. I haven’t tested it out yet, maybe this weekend. I’ll let you know how I get on with it.
I have the f4 IS and it’s just class.I use it for motorsport (Rallying) and I just love it.I sometimes use an extender but you do lose the AF
The f4 IS version has some new glass, and is supposedly the best quality around. Personally, I would buy it over the 2.8.
Hi
I recently picked mine up in New York Lately and must say its an all round quality lens,super sharpness and quick.I now can handhold down to a 1/15th sec and movement is non existent so great for indoor also.. :D Bought mine for about 1,100 dollars comapred with 1,095 euro here in Dublin. No real need for the 2.8 unless your flush or just need the speed!!
BenI own the non-is version and i love. Super sharp and really fast.
Solid construction as well without being very heavyEventaully got this lens. Initial results are stunning. Cheers for all the info. and feedback.
MJ :D :D :D
