Some years ago I bought the 70-200L 2.8MkII lens and found it to be an amazing lens, but the one thing about it was that it is a bit of a howtzer. I loved using it but the weight broke the cardinal rule that the best lens is the one you are carrying.

The new EF 70-200mm F4L IS II USM represents a major update of Canon's venerable 70-200mm F4 lens, replacing the 12 year old Mark I version by introducing a number of significant improvements.

Our verdict on the Canon RF 24-105mm F/4? We want this lens in our camera bag when we finally have the money to invest in the R/RF system. In fact, it'll probably be the first lens we'll buy, and not only because you can get it as a kit lens for both the EOS R and EOS RP bodies.

A major upgrade of Canon’s popular 70-200mm f/4 IS lens, the new Mark II remains relatively compact and lightweight, but packs a heavyweight punch in terms of performance.

Stellar sharpness and contrast, Super-fast autofocus system, 3-mode, 5-stop stabilizer

As pricey as Tamron’s f/2.8 lens, Optional tripod mount ring is expensive

The Canon EF 70-200mm f4.0 L USM Lens has to be one of the greatest budget lens you can buy, its so sharp you can cut yourself on the images, every photographer should make this one of their first upgrade in the lens department, the focus ring is smooth to use and the same with the zoom.

The compact RF 70-200mm with f4 and image stabilizer is an expensive but razor-sharp zoom for Canon full-frame cameras.

Small and light, very sharp at all focal lengths, fast autofocus and excellent image stabilization, Weatherproof.

Expensive, can not use stand mount or teleconverter.

With built-in image stabilisation and strong image quality, but the widest aperture of f/4 isn’t the best on the market.

Gary Wolstenholme takes a look at how this compact telephoto zoom lens performs. Canon's EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM costs around £800 and has an Image Stabiliser, silent Ultrasonic focusing with full time manual override and is sealed against dust and moisture.

Excellent optical quality, Superb build quality, Very effective image stabilisation, Fast to focus, Sealed against weather and dust, Light weight

Sometime miss-focuses near minimum focus distance

This lens is absolute must have. The major downside to the f/2.8 is that it is twice the weight. This lens can be taken out for long periods without any pain. This lens in not an inside lens especially at f/4 but outside its extremely sharp and produces excellent colour. THIS LENS IS A MUST HAVE!
