  • Is this f2.8 lens the version one or version two f2.8. If it's the first version, how much is it??

  • image stabilizer moooodd :o

  • Nice tutorial, simple and straight forward...and your English is not bad.. Very Good...

    Peace!!!

    From Nigeria!

  • will this lens be ok for my 40d thank

  • @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.

  • How much this lens in Kuwait?

  • Thanks for sharing this helpful info mate. Just bought a new one, so Happy with it... Cheers

  • i would love get this lens!

  • How long is the lens? It looks like it's huge! O.o

  • Good job mate, I will be buying this lens soon, thanks for posting

  • 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 :)

  • I just got it. It is damn great, but damn heavy also

  • 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 : )

  • You can get it in B&H for 1700USD right now

  • at last a got it yaaaaaaaaay >>happy dance

  • Great review, I have the 70-200 f4, would love this one! :)

  • i can't find it in Ksa =(

  • THanks a lot,just the video i wanted to watch and learn about the functions, really helpful, can you please make more video reviews, thanks

  • It is my dream lens ...

  • Great review, thanks Kuwaitvista!

  • OMFG..this is not enlighs review~!

  • great review !!!

  • 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

  • LOL it's true but i like in white...

  • In a way it looks cool

    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 -_-

  • 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

  • I wish we have circuits here:))

  • 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.

  • because canon is simply ahead of the curve...lol

  • Just an FYI All EF USM lenses can be manually focused on the fly without switching the lens.

  • 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.

  • nice review, thanks bro

  • quais owie shukrun ( very good, thank you ).

  • Great, thank you

  • great review, I saw your review in Arabic and I was really glad that you made it in English...thanks

  • Great review and thanks.

    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.

  • Very well done!!! Great information!!!

  • Thanks for the review!

  • where can i buy the canon lenses & dslr in kuwait..thanks

  • Camera store

  • online

  • 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 !

  • WANT THIS ONE

  • Good Video, alot of information.

  • This lens will be joining my collection in the near future! Thanks for sharing!!

  • This lens is for the Rebel XSi ???

  • Works on it

  • works on every EOS!

  • Great - Thank You

  • fetthunderdome is right, this is not really a review but a presentation - but I love these videos so much. Congratulations.

  • OMG GIEF!!!!!

  • كم سعرها تقريبـا ؟؟

  • 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.

    oh.. another thing: you call it VERY HEAVY!!

    try a canon 400 f/2.8 and see what's very heavy.

    ahhhh newbies

  • 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.

  • Yeah..Umm can u ...like GIVE ME ONE!!!

  • 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.

  • Dude...this guy like rules!!!!

  • I like! How much? wah wah weh wah!!!

  • great! i envy you :-) i wish i could shot with such a great lense.

    thx for the presentation. very interesting details i didn't know before.

  • Everyone keeps complaining about the weight. It is not that heavy. Go to the gym for christs sake.

  • well explained thank you bro. peace!

  • ur voice man

  • 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

  • Thanks! Nice review and AMAZING lens!

  • i liiikeeee !!!1

  • One of the best lens reviews I've ever seen. Very simple and very informative ..thanks for posting!

    Would it be possible if you could show us a comparison of the picture quality for this lens with and without the extender?

  • are you a telemarketer

  • in a football field 70 200 is almnost the equivalent of a wide angle.. they use 400-500-600 and even more sometimes..

  • can i add the 2x? can it make a difference, not quality wise.. im cheapo rofl..

  • thats true, but many photograpers have a second cam with it when the players comes closer, then they use this!

  • i dont understand how you take a proper picture of subjects that's a few metres away when your lense starts from 70mm

  • 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..?

  • Very nice! How much? Wah, wah, weh, wah!!!

  • best lens iv ever bought

  • good job, thx a lot

  • Thank u .That was very informative.

  • good review but lousy english

  • I bet he's done a better job reviewing a camera in english than what you could speaking in his native language

  • Come on man, what's the matter? Why are u so angry for?

  • I'm not angry in the slightest I just don't see why you should knock this guy for speaking your language badly when I bet you don't speak his

  • Well well my fault. Sorry for that.

  • thx for this, i have waited for the english version. this is a remarkable lens, wish i had one
