The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Record-breaking sharpness, free of aberrations, divinely constructed, high bokeh, effective 5-stop stabilizer.
Cons:Not having it, weight, bulk and cost.
Opinion:The best lens I have ever owned, the optical quality achieved by this lens is at the top is the best you could want from a lens of this class, the sharpness already at full aperture is embarrassing from edge to edge, but it is not only this ... the returned image has an incredible micro contrast and chromatic aberrations are absent altogether even when photographing in conditions of light reflected on metals in an extreme way. Bokeh is really superb, soft, buttery with passages between the poetic out-of-focus areas, a painter in the true sense of the word! built like a tank, solid as a rock and with a really good stabilizer that allows you to shoot 1/20 freehand at full aperture. The real cons is not owning it! while the weight, the bulk and even the cost are not real cons, those who take this lens know what they are buying and know that it will meet an important weight (2500 gr) and a considerable footprint, while for the cost well ... it is a very expensive and rare lens also to be found in the used but it is certainly a solid and important investment. Nothing else to add, vote 10 and praise in all respects, probably the best 200mm super canvas ever made.
Pros:The weight and stabilizer allow almost always freehand use and low shooting times.
Cons:Bulky. You can't use soft focus filters, the yield is bad given the location.
Opinion:Bought in 2010 for theatrical photos has never disappointed, lately I use it also for outdoor portraits but being a 200 mm you have to get away a lot. Specific lens certainly not of daily use, excellent yield if you like the extreme sharpness and blurred if behind the subject there are colors, such as colored walls, autumn landscapes etc.
Opinion:I think it is one of the most efficient optics and professional among those I tried. While using it with a 5DII, he has brought new life to this reflex definitely dated in terms of AF. Incomparable with its blurred "unique" in the sense that provides a three-dimensionality to the entity that makes it unique compared to other optical nevertheless valid. It not for nothing is the perspective that I mostly used the last year. The weight, though considerable, allows even long sessions, perhaps with the help of a good monopod. Lately I've got to try it on a Sony A7II (Commlite ring) with excellent results in terms of AF.
Pros:Optics of high level. Once you have tried the other lenses will seem nothing in comparison. Fast and sharp in af
Cons:None if you have arms like mine
Opinion:Fantastic in all situations. In low-light expresses his innermost qualities. The colors and bokeh technique are at one with his body bianco.rnCANON has created a true work of arte.Adattissima for professionals of fashion photography, fashion, glamor, advertising, photojournalism, sports, events in theater, TV shows, halls, etc ...
Pros:Sharpest, fuzzy fairytale, accurate and fast AF
Cons:Optical somewhat 'heavy for prolonged use freehand, as very useable to well balanced, especially bodies of series "1"
Opinion:One of the best lenses I've ever used: large separation and three-dimensionality, excellent yield with all sensor sizes, the blurred unparalleled creaminess. The new 70-200 approached him very definition level, but the blurred and the three-dimensionality remain insuperabili.rnIS particularly effective and efficient, very good for sports, more or less ambientati portraits and I also like to click the "macro" with the extension tubes. In short, the L of L.rnDa improve closing cappuccino supplied from the house, not very comfortable, but otherwise one is really clear-uguali.rn
