70–200mm · f/2.8
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is a professional workhorse with excellent build quality, weather sealing, and fast f/2.8 aperture. Optical strengths include sharp center performance wide open and creamy bokeh, though corner sharpness degrades and stopping down to f/8 improves overall sharpness. The 3-stop IS is effective for its era. It is heavy (1.4 kg) and built like a tank. Suits professionals and serious amateurs needing a durable, versatile zoom for portraits, weddings, and events.
