Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM: Verdict

During testing this lens proved itself capable of producing sharp, contrasty images at all apertures and focal lengths. Besides that, it is built like a tank, focuses quickly and the four stop image stabiliser does a superb job of ironing out the effects of a few too many cups of coffee.

The price be a little on the high side, but with performance like this, I don't believe Canon designed this lens to a price. If quality matters, the extra may just be worth saving that bit longer for.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM: Pros

Excellent weather sealed build
Lightening quick focusing
Effective four stop stabiliser
Very sharp at all apertures and focal lengths

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM: Cons

Price may be beyond some people's budget
Falloff of illumination towards the corners at 200mm
