Review

The most difficult part of writing reviews are lenses like the EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM. When there is nothing to gripe about, what do you write? Perfect construction, perfect optics, perfect focal length, and perfect price. It makes my Takumar primes look bottom-of-the-barrel. Just get one!

Recommended: YES!
