It took some time for me to get used to this lens, I have always used
Canon primes. Until I went a little crazy and purchased a EF 70-200/2.8
L IS USM II and then I bought Efs 17-55 F2.8is for a 50d.


You can get some great sharp shots from the EF 70-200/2.8 L IS USM
II, but I find its range limited on a crop body, its far more useable on
my 5d mkii, but thats just for what I shoot. Its a very heavy lens and
very solid. You will now you have been carrying at the end of the day. I
feel you really need a grip on your camera if your going to hand hold
for shots as it gives a little bit more balance.

















The first 3 pictures all taken using a 50d and EF 70-200/2.8

Canon 5d mkii + EF 70-200/2.8
L IS USM II


All the shots hand held, shot in AV mode. Auto WB. Hand held with no flash etc.


My problem to begin with was the limited range the Lense would offer on the crop body, for indoor use and close shots. On a full frame it really has become a very well used Lens. I shoot mainly weddings and commercial photography. As you can see you can get some nice portraits with it on a crop body, but you just need to have a little bit more room and space and as your used to the bigger Zooms anyway Im sure you would be very very happy with it.





In short its a very very, sweet lens and can produce some very crisp and sharp images, without having to mess about in photogshop as I like to try and use my pictures as much as possible AS TAKEN. :-)
