Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L II USM

catza.net photos: Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L II USM

• excellent telephoto lens
• estimated retail price 840 EUR
• in my use from 2/2010 to current date
• comes handy when I feel like a paparazzi: takes close-ups from a distance

• only positive things to say about image quality so perfectly in par with Canon EF 135mm f/2.0 L USM
• leave some distance between the subject and background and you get excellent bokeh
• always sharp no matter on what aperture
• looks very credible

• with 200 mm and with the maximum aperture f/2.8 some serious light and high ISOs are required indoors
• at the limit of being too heavy for my shooting style so could be an overkill for a small DSLR body
• IS could be helpful (but isn't IS only for wimps)
