A flexible zoom distinguished by its relatively lightweight and compact design, the EF 70-200mm f/4L USM is a Canon L-series optic spanning a useful portrait-length to medium telephoto range. The constant f/4 maximum aperture allows you to maintain a consistent exposure throughout the zoom range and also contributes to the sleeker form factor when compared to other 70-200mm lenses. In regard to its optical performance, this lens employs one fluorite element and two ultra-low dispersion elements, which work in concert to suppress chromatic aberrations and color fringing for notable clarity and color accuracy. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied to control flare and ghosting for improved contrast when working in harsh lighting. Complementing the optical attributes, this lens also features a ring-type USM and internal focusing mechanism for quick, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance, as well as full-time manual focus override.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Reviews
Very nice!
Very nice addition for my new full frame camera. Make note, this one does not come with image stablilization, but I chose this one because of the drastic price difference. Nice Lens.
Great value 70-200mm!!
I am using this lens on a Sony A7IV, with a Sigma MC-11 adapter. If you are using a camera body with image stabilization, I feel this is one of the best bang for the buck 70-200mm lenses you can get (with a few caveats..). With the sigma mc-11 the stills auto focus works quite well, even using the eye auto focus (at least with my A7IV, have not tested on other cameras). If you are in really low light it will hunt around and have a little trouble. I use this primarily for landscape photography, so the slightly slower auto focus does not bother me. It's also fairly easy to manually focus if the AF is having trouble locking on. If you are wanting auto focus in video mode, on the Sony body anyway, you would need to buy something else as it does not work at all (at least currently, for me - with the mc-11 adapter. it might work with other adapters, or maybe a future firmware update on the mc11 - but I'm not counting on it). Compared to Sony's own 70-200mm F4 (which has questionable build quality..?) This Canon is arguably sharper at most focal lengths and you can get this lens plus the mc-11 adapter for around half the price of the Sony lens. Pros: Great image quality, sharpness, color/contrast, etc. Very good build quality Great value (if it works for your needs) Cons: Slow and somewhat noisy AF (compared to most modern lenses) No video AF - (with my camera and adapter, see above) No image stabilization (more versatile on body with IBIS) (a7 IV, ILCE-7M4, mc11)

Great lens
Light to use great pics works well with my RP and canon rf-ef adapter
Excelente!
Estoy empezando en esto de la fotografa y creo que no pude haberlo hecho mejor, excelente lente, aunque an falta mucho por aprender.
Love it
I love my lens so far :)
Awesome lens
Performance was exactly as I hoped
Gray Market
I made a mistake in purchasing this lense without any understanding of what Grey Market products are. Canon's web site explained that these products are not recognized by Canon. And warn of potential problems with Grey Market devices. So if this goes bad I just wasted $600.
