@Udontgetmymetal ...tru that. But as ISO functions get better and better, ISO 200 vs ISO 400? Does it really matter. I'll agree with you on shutter speed though.
@urwholefamilydied yeah, and if you can afford this or the 2.8, you should be able to get a camera with good high ISO. But I suppose if your already pushing past 1600 ISO then it would be nice.
@urwholefamilydied It's a prime, so your sarcasm is both pointless and ill-targeted. Not only is it a full stop quicker than the 70-200, its optics are tailored to work at the 200mm f/l, and has an objective element with almost twice the light-gathering power of the 70-200.
@Sheshader I was partly just being a dick. The extra stop is definitely nice. I'm curious though how much sharper and better at minimizing aberrations than the 70-200 is. If it's not a huge step up image quality wise then I don't really see this ever being in my camera bag. Looks like a pretty sweet lens though.
Someone should tell Kai that he should buy a monopod if he wants to complain about carrying the lens. Anyone in their right mind would use a monopod to shoot with the 200mm
@MJCastellanos No, you're just a loser. If you had a better personality you wouldn't bad mouth someone over a video, you're essentially complaining about a person you don't know and being Asian has nothing to do with anything. You're not just a loser, but a shallow moron. GG LOL.
@MJCastellanos what???? LOL!!! you being not asian makes you better??? Holy shit.... what kind of mother do you have? hey Castellanos hijo de puto... what makes you think you are better? LOL!!! you are 12 years old probably! go suck on you daddy's titties! you racicst dickless hispanic shit!
@truknayr23 hahahah I love how you get angry at some internet comment. It makes me laugh. Your one of those people that get easily annoyed. Pretty ironic and makes you a hypocrite on how you say im racist when you say im a "dickless hispanic shit" hahahah. Cheers!
@MJCastellanos LOL! me angry? no man no... me never get angry over dickless hispanic... hulk never angry... LOL! me a hypocrite no man no.... i just say that to you coz you are indeed a dickless hispanic shit! Cheers!
@MJCastellanos hahah thanks man.... at least you know the meaning of the word.... try looking at the mirror... and you get to see a real pathetic loser... hey... try making your own video before bashing on an Asian guys vid... Kai is a loser you say??? hahaha.... LOL!
@Beerz76 okay, agreed. i have to pay for rent and such. unfortunately practicality is a part of real life. enjoy the camera reviews of the lenses you're never going to buy. i'm going to stick with what i actually use for assignments people pay me to shoot.
@ShuPortraits I totally agree with you on that. I wasn't telling you (or anyone else) to go out and buy it. Hell, I couldn't buy it if I sold my car, it's not worth that much money. Plus, I shoot Nikon. :)
My point wasn't that at all. No price tag here. I was just saying I WOULD prefer this lens (the Nikon one, of course), over the 70-200 2.8, if I could afford it, of course. It's a more specialized lens, but for me, the advantages it brings definitely surpass the fact that it's not a zoom lens.
@ShuPortraits you're obviously missing the point mate. this is a prime lens... and every photographer knows that a prime lens is better than a zoom lens. cheers!
@truknayr23 thanks, man. i appreciate the sentiment, and i know what you're talking about. i apprenticed for 6 years under professional photographers that worked with hasselblads where a prime lens was worlds better than any zoom, but technology has changed and zoom lenses have improved. can you honestly tell me you've used the 200mm 2.0 and the 70-200mm 2.8 and the prime lens made $4000 difference? because i've got two versions of the 70-200 and they both have phenomenal image quality.
@ShuPortraits i have the 70-200 f4 IS USM great lens razor sharp... one of my photography classmates has the 70-200 f2.8 USM(non IS) but non of us has the 200mm f2 Prime. hahaha it is just too expensive mate.... but based on the rule of thumb... a prime lens should always have a better image quality over its zoom counterpart... and i do believe in that rule... hahaha.... if i win the lottery i might get this beast of a lens... Cheers!
@ShuPortraits pardon me i f sounded like i have used the 200mm f2... hahaha i never intended it to sound that way.... i was just too eager to say that primes are the ultimate lenses... but i have a 70-200 f4 IS USm... great lens... but useless on low light.... i occasionally borrow my friends lens a 70-200mm f2-8 USM... no IS. but still does the job on low light... even without the IS.... cheers!
@vehlajatt22 I say that 70-200mm f2.8 + 1D Mk IV would be better combination, and if the 200mm f2.8 is too short, then you should have 300mm f2.8. 400mm f2.8 is pretty heavy and massive.
i went to HK to Buy a 60d, This guy makes good reviews, but i gotta say, i dont like some stores in HK, they Scam people, instead of payin 10k HKD for a 60d, i paid double, damn these people.. BTW, they have sony signs on the stored, bright shiny SONY signs that are lit like christmas! beware..
Hi there love your vids and im a beginner and wanting to get the CANON EF 70-200mm f/4.0L F4L F4 L USM zoom lens do u recommend it? its over my budget but will to increase it if u think its good what would you do?
i rented one, and its better than my 300mm f/2.8l is usm. i swear, using the f/2 aperture in low light, I CAN USE ISO 640!!! its a bit crazy and the is really helps
I find this lens obscolete given current camera technology. Save your money and just use the 70-200 and put it on a 7D. Shooting at iso 2000 is extremely clean and allows fast shutter speeds. 200mm is 200mm and you won't notice the 3/4 stop difference between the two lenses.
From 2.8-2 is one FULL STOP. THis lens is in a league all its own and is sharper at f/2 than the zoom is at wide open at 2.8
And again the 2 is one FULL STOP faster and is probably the sharpest lens Canon makes. Its the sharpest I've shot with and I've shot with a lot of Canon lenses.
says who? it's not a full stop. how do you figure? what constitutes a stop? each click of the dial? if that's the case, there's three or so "stops" between f2.8 and f1.8 on my 50mm.
If you open your aperture from 4 to 2.8 thats a full stop. From 2.8 to 2 is another full stop. From 2 to 1.4 would be another full stop. From 2.8 to 1.8 is a stop and a third.
I tried to post a link explaining f stops/aperture but I couldn't post that here. Google aperture or f stop or go to wikipedia.
WOW! You nothing about optics. I own both and the 200mm f2.0 is twice as fast and the sharpness, color, density blows away the 70-200. Not to mention double the shutter speed and shallow depth of field. On a 7D there is a huge difference. If you buy a 1D Mark IV, not so much. But don't think for a second that the 70-200 can create images that can compete with the 200 f2
Hey, I've bought from digital rev a few times and I just wanted to say thanks for the great service and prices, the website is very impressive and the videos are a nice added feature -- It shows that you're better than your competition and interested in the products as much if not more than selling them.
I guess with style, there is no right or wrong. Kai is a Nikon and Leica fan, so naturally he needs a bit of time before mastering Canon equipment. We have given him a Canon camera and some crash course on Canon gears. Hopefully his next Canon review will be more in depth.
I think it's worth mentioning that our vids are as informative, if not more, as before the change of style. We are giving you more information, and in a more entertaining style.
Please can you revert back to the old style of video reviews, Kai is more interested in his own image and making stupid wise cracks than talking about the camera equipment !
You are wrong. Look at the Lumiquest video. It's 2 months old, and it has barely 2 thousand views. This new video was uploaded two days ago, and it has 1,500 views.
Viewing figures have more to do with the product being reviewed rather than the style of review, Anyway, I am not wrong, this is my opinion and honest feedback on the change in style. If you like all the corney comments from Kai, that is your perogative !
great review! looking forward to seeing more reviews from Kai, specially a detailed hands on 1d mk iv review which is more than just a listing of specs.
Adding a human in these videos has made me actually look forward to them. Before this, the videos were just bland 10-minute advertisements with no opinions or cons.
@BerettaTM If you actually say it out loud saying millimetres is about a split second slower than em em as the words flow. And since when was a video review about speed to the degree that saving a split second matters?

I tried to post a link explaining f stops/aperture but I couldn't post that here. Google aperture or f stop or go to wikipedia.

Three clicks is typically one stop on DSLRs by default. Some DSLRs let you change it to either 1 click = 1 stop or 1 click = 1/2 a stop.

f/1.8 is 1/3 of a stop short of f/2.0
from f/1.8 to f/2.8 is 1 and 1/3 stops
from f/1.8 to f/2.5 is 1 stop

WOW! You nothing about optics. I own both and the 200mm f2.0 is twice as fast and the sharpness, color, density blows away the 70-200. Not to mention double the shutter speed and shallow depth of field. On a 7D there is a huge difference. If you buy a 1D Mark IV, not so much. But don't think for a second that the 70-200 can create images that can compete with the 200 f2

Good to know I wasn't the only one who thought "em em" was off-putting :D
Plus teach that guy how to hold a lens properly! He's shaking it.

Hey, I've bought from digital rev a few times and I just wanted to say thanks for the great service and prices, the website is very impressive and the videos are a nice added feature -- It shows that you're better than your competition and interested in the products as much if not more than selling them.

Hi philbeav & zanuha
I guess with style, there is no right or wrong. Kai is a Nikon and Leica fan, so naturally he needs a bit of time before mastering Canon equipment. We have given him a Canon camera and some crash course on Canon gears. Hopefully his next Canon review will be more in depth.
I think it's worth mentioning that our vids are as informative, if not more, as before the change of style. We are giving you more information, and in a more entertaining style.

Please can you revert back to the old style of video reviews, Kai is more interested in his own image and making stupid wise cracks than talking about the camera equipment !
philbeav 2 years ago
You are wrong. Look at the Lumiquest video. It's 2 months old, and it has barely 2 thousand views. This new video was uploaded two days ago, and it has 1,500 views.

Viewing figures have more to do with the product being reviewed rather than the style of review, Anyway, I am not wrong, this is my opinion and honest feedback on the change in style. If you like all the corney comments from Kai, that is your perogative !

great review! looking forward to seeing more reviews from Kai, specially a detailed hands on 1d mk iv review which is more than just a listing of specs.

Thanks. Enjoyed watching your review. The lens is a fine lens too.

Adding a human in these videos has made me actually look forward to them. Before this, the videos were just bland 10-minute advertisements with no opinions or cons.

Two hundred em em lens - FAIL

or millimeter saying em em is faster and easier, try it
BerettaTM 2 years ago
@BerettaTM If you actually say it out loud saying millimetres is about a split second slower than em em as the words flow. And since when was a video review about speed to the degree that saving a split second matters?

There's rumor about 100-200mm F2 :D
