5.0 out of 5 stars Razor sharp

Excellent lens for just about any type of photography. Using it for portraits and sports for my daughters. Very sharp, focuses fast and beautiful bokeh. The 200mm focal length is a bit short for flag football shooting from the sidelines or the end zones, a bit of cropping does the job. I’ve paired it up with a 6D2 and it’s a good combo. Worth every bit of the $1900. Not as good as the 200mm f2L but that’s a special lens with a high price tag. F 2.8 is just fast enough for shooting under the lights of the field. I used it with the 1.4 tele converter stopped down and it was adequate.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! What a great lens.
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2021
After shooting with my older EF 70-200mm 1:2.8 L IS USM for years, I started to notice that my images were softer than those taken with my other (newer) Canon lenses. I had it cleaned and recalibrated and while the results were better, I realized that it was probably time to replace it with the most current version.

The new Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens is somewhat lighter and MUCH sharper. I just returned from an out of state nature shoot where I used this lens extensively hand holding it mostly at 200mm. All the images are tack sharp with excellent colour and detail.

The 70-200 has always been my 'go-to' lens for many situations... I love the flexibility to choose either lovely bokeh backgrounds or excellent depth of field depending on the situation and the results I'm trying to achieve. This is a GREAT lens and although it's a bit pricy, it has already proven to be a professional tool that does exactly what it's supposed to.

I'm really loving my new Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens and am glad that I didn't 'cheap out' with a less expensive competitors product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Subtly better than my old Mark II
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2018
I've had the Mark II for 8 years and admittedly, the improvements here are subtle. I tried a one-to-one comparison in my living room and couldn't swear I'd seen a difference. Used it tonight to shoot a rock band in a local venue--a fairly tough test--and I loved it. The photos came out looking great, sharp and crisp, despite shooting at ISO 3200 to 6400 (on a Canon 5D Mk IV). The autofocus was dead-on. . .EXCEPT when I bumped the Auto-Manual switch and turned it off. Did it a couple of times through the night. Is that a flaw of the lens or just my copy? Never had the problem with the Mk II, though I definitely have with my 24-70 and ended up taping the switch in place. I mention it only so others might watch out for it; for now I'm considering it Operator Error and not blaming the lens. One of the reported improvements over the Mark II was the handling lens flare. Canon was probably thinking of sun glare but for me, it's stage backlighting aimed right into my lens--and it handled it great. I don't think I got a single lens flare the whole night; nothing obtrusive, anyway. What else. . .it feels just like the Mark II. Same weight, balance, controls. Image stabilization is reportedly the same and I didn't notice a difference. You could certainly make the argument that it's not worth the money to upgrade. . . but overall, I'm impressed with the new lens and am glad I replaced my aging and battleworn old one.
