Canon L 70-200mm f2.8 IS (Mk I)
Hi all
I've been saving up my pennies all year, and have just about enough saved to purchase a used f 2.8 70-200mm lens.
I've been doing tons of reading up, but wanted to get all your sage advise. I've had my mind set on the Canon L 70-200mm IS (Mk I). Is this still a good choice given the new Sigma and Tamron offerings? Also been looking at the Sigma Sport 70-200 as well.
I shoot using a 7D (only lens i have right now is the EF-S 17-55mm f2.8), and tend to shoot a bit of everything. I defo want a 2.8 for portraits etc.
Any advise welcome!
Cheers

I have had a 70-200mm f2.8 L IS Mk1 for many years now. It is an excellent lens. I also have the 1.4x extender also Canon which is matched to this lens so no deterioration in quality and auto focus etc works fully. I have found this lens particularly good for sport, birds and other wildlife as well as a few portraits.

I echo the comments of those above, it was with great regret to sell this lens 70-200mm f2.8 L IS Mk1, when I moved from Canon to Fujifilm...
Not sure I can recommend anyone on these threads but, try viewing upg24uk s/h kit on e-bay....Top seller....

Totally agree - this was the best leans, regardless of brand, I've ever owned...
Quote:Thanks everyone! I've checked my savings tin, and with a little help from Santa I will have enough to get the lens in January!!
You won't regret it!
