Canon knows their stuff! They got a ridiculous amount of criticism when this lens came out - mostly from other brand's fanboys. But time after time, Canon innovates in details that matter to real photographers. Canon delivers value and quality.

Jared, your videos always crack me up! Love it keep them coming.

I am more than happy with the Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS II. No need for the III. You are absolutely right.

If you use the foot/ring with a monopod it balances much better. You put added tension on your monopod because it is front heavy if you just attach to your camera. This can wear out the grip on the ball head faster as you’ll be tightening it down more frequently. If you always shoot handheld, it just gets in the way so it makes sense to remove it like Jared is suggesting, but with a monopod or tripod it’s pretty helpful

The sniff test always puts a smile in my face.

I have the II version of this lens and I'll probably never get rid of it :) I'm using it on an EOS R since a few years, even with a Viltrox lens mount adapter, and it simply does a fantastic job every single time.

Great review Jared. What do you think about the Canon f2.8 iii vs f4 ii regarding image quality?

I ' m using the Canon EF 70- 200 III USM with the 5 D MARK IV since september 2018 . The quality is really excellent . I take pictures on concerts , portraits , animals , nature and landscape . The sharpness of the images is amazing . I love this system .

I used the pouch with my Nikon 70-200 VRII from time to time. I use the over the shoulder strap, not the belt loop. A friend of mine who has the Tamron 70-200 bought a Nikon pouch for his. If you are going light and carry one body and a 24-70 & 70-200 it works well. One lens on the body, the other over your shoulder in the pouch.

Great review! Still happy with my IS II and 1DC combo

I love your channel! Keep up the good work!

Very good explanation, helped me decide for CANON version 2

Honestly even as a Sony fanboy, cannon did something amazing with drop in filters for the EOS R adapters. I would hope they keep making the EF lenses so that you can use the drop in filter adapter. It makes it super easy to use filters on all kinds of lenses including ultrawide bubble lenses

And this is why I just bought this over the RF version!

I bought a version II back in January (my first L lens in 25 years of shooting with EOS cameras) and love it. I agree one lens coating change and different color paint isn't worth the cost for me to upgrade.

The 70-200mm f/2.8 focal length and aperture is the best choice for portrait photography. Also most of these lenses have internal focus, internal zoom and rubber mount gasket which makes them very robust against moisture and dust.

Sir please make a video on lens fungus how its come how protect from n how to remove it....

that's my dream lens for sure

If I may ask, have compared the 70-200 F2.8 L IS Version 3 to the Version 2 , especialyl when shooting against the light? If yes, what were the results? Also, if yes, is it true what I've heard from a couple of photographers who have tried both the Version 2 and Version 3 that the latter focuses a bit faster? Thanks.

Great review!

hi sir.. i am big fan of your videos and yours.. i love photograpy but i have no any high level lences.. but you are my inspiration and i learn with ur video ... thank u sir ..

I have the Canon 70-200 F2.8 is (version 1) and its a great lens, one of my favorites and I have been hesitating on upgrading to the version III, but this vlog maybe a decision maker? especially after the wind test.

Wind tunnel test makes PERFECT sense!

Totally agree, if you are not a pro go the I or II version second hand.

I own this lens, bought it right after it came out, and use it on my 7D2, on my EOS RP and until today on my R7. It makes a fantastic job every single time i use it. And I will use it far into future shootings. Biggest advantage over the newer RF versions... the internal zooming. Same as with my f/4 version of this lense...

No way in the world the EF glasses will be dead in a couple of years. There's to many dedicated video cameras that use the EF Mount (Canon obviously but so does Blackmagic, Panasonic, Kinefinity and even RED). There's also the fact that they still have a huge line of dedicated Cinema glass that are EF mounts. Maybe on the photography side, it may fade, but in terms of video? No Way.

@@chrischan5168 I don't think the photography side will go away either. I was just stating that I would see that side go before any of the video side for the EF mount. Regarding m43rds we shall see. Panasonic is one of the big reasons m43rds have done so well and with them moving to the Leica L mount for their full frame line up is reason for cause to pause. Unlike the Canon EF system, the M43rds is not heavily invested across so many different markets (i.e. cinema, full frame, crop sensor ect). It's one of the reasons I think Panasonic's full frame announcement to the Leica L is a terrible move. There's no consistency of dedicated glass on their various platforms, and they choice a mount whose current glass is very "luxurious" in terms of pricing. To make the full frame work they may have to move away from M43rds eventually because they don't have the range Canon and Sony have of mult-platforms.

I think everyone’s got to ask themselves what more could they get out of the newer lenses creatively. I have my collection of glass that I’ve built up over the past 15 years, I use it all and I’m very happy with the results. If new zoom pro glass aperture is set to f2.0 like that recent RF zoom then things might start changing rapidly.

The wind tunnel test makes me wonder, is it possible to design a more aerodynamic lens that will vibrate less when mounted to a tripod and doing landscapes that need more zoom?

I have one. Nothing beats this!

Jared I've been been following your channel for years; since I was in 10th grade when I got into photography. I take pictures for friends and family and mainly as a hobby. I bought a D610 ever since you reviewed it. But recently I had my camera service and my Sigma 70-200 2.8 stopped auto focusing. I didn't have a second body to test it so I was heart broken thinking my 70-200 is broken. I was scrambling through the internet finding anything I can try and somewhere it told me to make sure my firmware was updated. I never updated the firmware before and somehow it was the latest version so I downgraded the firmware back to version 1.01 which solved the problem but is there something I'm missing that is causing this? Have you experienced this before?

the Canon 70-200 2.8 has been a "best" of since its first incarnation. It's a super lens and has helped taking amazing images all over the world for decades.

Welcome back the Fro.

I am not a big fan of upgrading evertime a new version comes out, I rarely buy the latest version of anything and that helps u get killer deals on older versions imo. I just bought my first Sony A7ii because it was cheap used now version 3 is out, I'm still using a canon 5d classic and pictures are amazing, I thought about upgrading to 5d mark3 but think I will hold off another year or two when they really cheap, I get killer poster size images from the original 5d and that sensor captures a picture I font think the newer version can, but for pro users on payed weddings I understand the need for faster buffer rate and duel card slots ect, I don't understand non pro buying latest gear though lol

All the 70-200 F/2.8s are about 3 to 3.5 lbs. If weight is a factor, get the F/4 which is half the weight and $800 cheaper. If you want the F/2.8, you must accept the weight.

@JohnDrummondPhoto

Aaron Webb actually, yeah. Serious photographers often do consider weight. That's exactly why I bought the Canon 70-200 F/4L instead of the F/2.8L. If I'm going to trail hike for miles with a full-frame body, maybe a second body, several lenses, filters, a tripod, and assorted accessories in my backpack, it makes sense to save weight where you can. Especially if I don't need F/2.8 for landscape photography. Thomas Heaton has that same lens for the same reason. He BTW is a rock climber, and I'm a bodybuilder; so it was for practical considerations, not our "weak little arms".

Great lens. I am curious though how the new RF 70-200 would compete

I have this lens and after some AF micro adjustment on the 5Div , I think it is excellent.

I have a 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM (non IS). Which I’ve been using for over 3 years now. Do you think this is a worthy upgrade?

So the wind tunnel test is.....good!? I was worried about that. Just put in my order.

So if we are shooting with an a7iii, would you use the Sony 70-200 f2.8 or would you use an adapted Canon 70-200 f2.8 is iii for less money? Keeping in mind that eye AF and the other (previously deactivated) autofocus modes now work on adapted lenses. Please help.

Got mine today 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Best 70-200 so far for me, Nice video Jared thank you

Pentax is not mentioned, so Pentax 70-200 2.8 is best? /sarc

Have not heard anything about it, but is it even possible to adapt one of the newer RF lenses to an EF DSLR? Upgrading from Canon DSLR to all RF all the way, is going to be about the same price as switching to another brand altogether. Of course we can "adapt" EF lenses during the transition, but to go all mirrorless is pretty much like starting over. I don't see myself buying a Canon mirrorless until they relesse a more pro model (assuming they don't screw it up), but I fiind myself hesitating to buy any new EF lenses right now as the writing is on the wall.

What’s the best adapter to adapt this lens to a Sony A6500. Want to ensure that I get max auto focus speed for sports photography.

Will be getting the 70-200mm f/2.8 III for my EOS R very soon but will also use it on my Canon T6s some. If I buy a used version, should I still do the sniff test? 🤔

Regarding the sony.what is your opinion comparing the 2.8 and f4 version

you really love Ken Rockwell man dont ya?lol

I still have much love for my Canon 70-200 F2.8 NON is... Its just... wonderful. My most used lens after my Canon 300 f2.8 IS and before my 50.

Jared, what about it's less famous twin that it got released with, the 70-200 F4 V2 ? Is that good value? Is it as sharp?

Agree, it's a great lens. I have it. I love it.

I'm a serious hobbyist and went from The Mark 1 to the mark 2 not too long ago. It was a huge upgrade. I seem to remember the mk2 being way more expensive than this version 3 but I honestly don't see a reason to upgrade from my current lens. I have a sharp copy of the Mk2- you never know what you're going to get......

I have canon 70-300 I am still struggling should i go for version ii or version iii any recommendation. Thz

Hey I was thinking of getting the latest version and using it with my mc11 and Sony a7 III any thoughts ? My main reason is to save money than opt for the Sony 70 200

I now have the Sony A7III , coming from a Canon user. I still have some Canon mount glass adapted using Sigma MC-11 but I can't afford the extra $500-$600 on the Sony 70-200gm 2.8. does it make sense for me to get the Canon version III instead?

Hi sir. I just bought Canon EF 70 200mm f2.8 III from Best Buy. But it only has 2 mode of image stabilizer, and when I turn on the stabilization, I feel vibration on my hand due to the motor. Is that normal? I feel like they use mark ii lens and put mark III on the lens name.

Hey Fro, where did you got the shutter sound ;) ? Thanks

The f/4L IS is plenty good enough for a professional photographer. And is smaller and lighter, very sharp and portraits do look very good. It falls short in low light, obviously.

Do your lightroom presets work in Lightroom 6? I have LR 6 and thinking of buying them

What’s it like shooting the canon 70-200 on Sony a7r mark 2?

Hi Jared, What u suggest 70 200mm for wildlife like shot birds. I have Sony a7r II and mc11 adapter. Cheers Peter

I use it and love it

Are there markings on the 2.8/ 70-200 L that indicate which version it is?....I have v1 and looking to upgrade.

to u think Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS needs a lense strap or is it ok whitout it ? Just litle worried it might break my camera mount or something as its heavy.

I still use a 5D Mark II and all L Series Lenses but do I go to an R5 or a 5D Mark IV? I know there will not be a Mark V but.... Replacing all my lenses will be like 7K

Is the wind tunnel test valid in 2021?

What about the lens Mount? is it a dealbreaker because of the mirrorless cameras? Also, the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 Sport is coming up soon.

You: No-one would ever use this You and Me: except Ken Rockwell Me: well played [watches rest of video]

Hi. I have a questions about why mk3 is better then Sony, except obvious - price? There is no canon mirrorless superspeed canon camera yet, and I don't want to switch yet, but I have the chance to buy 70-200 sony in very good price - is there any sense to me, or you in that movement if I am not pro. Ok I am thinking that I answered for second question already.

i just got version 1,and i really like it

I got the V1 2.8L IS Usm for just $550 almost perfect condition!

I can’t imagine buying into a DSLR system right now. However this lens would be great for ppl wanting to upgrade.

I cannot afford the new Sony 70-200 g2 so I’m looking at the canon ef 70-200 viii with an adapter. I can get it new for £1300 or £1100 used! Would you go with that Or the Sony v1 ?

Is everyone's zoom ring not nearly as smooth as the focus ring? Or is that just mine?

If there was a image comparison would be better. Also, what camera you own plays a big part too. If sony users need that canon ef mount that would add another 150-300+ depending which adapter you using and you don't always get the best performance from none native lens.

does this lens fits the Nikon D7500 can you Advise

Any reviews on the new SIGMA 70-200MM F2.8 DG OS HSM (SPORT) yet? I’d love to know your comparison of this new canon 70-200 vs the new sigma. 😊

There's nothing bad about Canon's bodies or any other brand's for that matter unless you: a) Are going to use them to shoot video a lot and/or b) will frequently over/under expose your shots and need to adjust the exposure after the fact in lightroom. If you're going to shoot a ton of video I would go with a GH5. If you need insane dynamic range get a Sony. Otherwise just go with whatever feels the best in your hands and has controls that are intuitive for you, because in the end the person using the camera is the one who determines how good the photographs turn out. Happy shooting!
