@craiggy13x Yup. Rule of thumb: all lenses will fit your camera. It's when you go up to full frame that you need to be careful of vignetting and what have you.
another great review. i keep coming back to this guy for his laymen reviews with no hype, to the point short and jsut what i need to know. i do wish that he would sell one of those fancy 1K USD lens' and buy himself a proper vid camera for these reviews :)
bigger zoom lenses are white for a reason. they are painted white so they dont attract alot of heat while being staitioned on a tripod for long periods of time...
That makes sense... but then why don't Nikon and Sigma make their large lenses white? If were that important they would surely make their lenses white too... must just be a feature Canon decided on.
Epic FAIL on why the focus distance switch is on board. It's to decrease hunting time,and increase battery life by limiting the travel of the assembly. You can change your focus points in camera.

good review, it's good for a non-english speaker, but you should improve your accent, you wouldn't like me to speak in arabic with a russian accent, which isn't easy to understand...
This is a very good lens I love it. I take many photos with this lens for portrait and sport. Actually this is a much have for all professional photographer from Canon.
hi ! where you located ? had a question here...you see i've been using a nikon fm10 and was wondering if canon has digital cameras that have lenses like the ones on the fm10, meaning i'd like to adjust the fstops etc. manually on the lenses. well. information video here. hi once again from qatar !
wich kind of review is this? this is just an instruction manual wich explain what you have just purchased, a review is something different.
i don't see mtf test, focus and sharpening test at various apertures, comparisons with other lenses (nikkor vr 70 200 far best, or old canon 70 200 NOT is, far better..) and go on.
Some people have money ... they then are open to a world of being able to fuel their "Interests" (not the same as Tallent, Profession ... etc) ... thusly, they can aquire equipment that others (often in a position where a product would serve a much better purpose) cannot afford ... then they, with their cash inflated ego's, beleive they actually (LMAO) can label themselves as "Professionals" or even knowledgefull in what they speak of (when that is often not the case). :P
what the hell you mean? this guy is doing good. earlier I used to dislike his 'english title and arabic description' but now he is trying and I appreciate his effort.
regarding your money and equipment comment, I would say you are a looser. He got money and he is spending. whether he is a Pro or not,at least he must have practicing. If he keep trying, it will make him perfect. So, who the hell you are to comment that looser? try to appreciate ppl's good deed.
Moonchild is a total idiot for dogging this guys english...his lens review was extremely good...better than most made by people with perfect english. Check out his review on the 2x tele converter.
You're mean 01sean. But then again, I giggled at your comment. Other than that, GREAT review. Im buying the 4/L non IS version of it. This one is wayyy to pricey..
yes thats exactly what im getting. i figure that if im going to be shooting at 200mm ill most likely have a tripod so i wont have to worry about having no IS
hey dude, this is a long range lens. that take long range pictures. you may wanna try the standard kit lens (18-55mm) if u wanna take objects that is a few meters awawy.
yeah... i have a standard kit lense... but i always see photos of football games; and lots of the players in the pictures are quite near... (like when the player takes a throw in or something)... That's why i was wondering how those photographers in that line do it..?

okay instead of reading those dumb instructions u could at least talk about photo quality, usability of the focal lens etc. who cares about buttons and numbers ;)
and a blunt spam of ur website at the end of the video.. come on, fuckin pathetic.
Is this f2.8 lens the version one or version two f2.8. If it's the first version, how much is it??

I just got this lens last week! I got it as MINT CONDITION off of Ebay, $1,650 instead of $2k in the store, and I didn't pay a DIME of tax!
This is the best lens I've ever owned. The bokeh is AMAZING, the speed is AMAZING, the colors are AMAZING, and the clarity is AMAZING.
I hope this helps : )

it would be really cool if Canon painted it black
that lens is like shouting
"Hey, I'm 1,700 Dollars, Come and Steal me!"
another thing is... the IS version is $650+ more than the non-IS version
But nevertheless, this lens is great
great focal length, good bokeh, sharp, large aperture and the like

it'll make you look like a pro photographer. lol
but I hope canon made an option or a silicon case that'll cover the white paint
I can't use that in the streets! In a minute my lens would be gone -_-
ryanracca 2 years ago
yep it depends even where do you use that lense...
for example i usually use it in circuits and tracks where many photogaphers have lens much expensive than this so i'm not in trouble.. :P
