Crisp, Clear, Bright, Fast lens
Not much to say about it...It's a beautiful, great lens with no cons as far as my opinon goes. Quick, quiet AF. Sturdy Build, awesome price.

Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L Non-IS Lens Is Tops!
Since I got this lens it pretty much hasn't left my 40D! I wanted to get it before my honeymoon in Kona/Hilo Hawaii so I made sure to get it a week or so before we left so I could get used to the weight. Yes, it is heavy but I knew that before buying it. I don't get why so many people that buy this lens whine about how heavy it is. You don't get a lens of this superior quality without trading off something! And I had no problem with paying that much either! You get what you pay for and that money bought me an incredible lens that is worth every penny!

The week before we left I shot a ton of pics all over of everything from planes overhead to people to flowers to buildings, etc, etc. I've been blown away with how awesome every picture has been! Once we got to Hawaii I've just been in heaven. I put on a 2x extender and from our hotel room I've been able to get shots of the sea turtles in the tidal pool below that makes it seem as if I'm right there. Yesterday we went to the volcano park and since you can't get right up to the activity this lens and at times this lens coupled with the 2x extender were perfect! I'm thrilled because I got amazing pics of the most beautiful place on earth and I have been saying the whole time "I freaking love this camera and this lens!!!"

Do no hesitate to get this lens! You won't be disappointed!

When you are ready to take your photography to the next level, you need to upgrade to an "L" series lens. The Canon 70-200 f 2.8 is a perfect lens to start you on your way. While it is a big investment to make for most amatuer photogs, it more then makes up for the cost with the images it will return. If you look at other pictures and say "I wish I could take shots like that", this is the type of lens that can make that happen.
