Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II Review (and samples shot with FF and APS-C)

Canon EF 70-200mm F/4L IS II

For once we feature a review of an EF optics, and not of an RF lens. The Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II.

Coming from Christopher Frost Photography, the 9 minutes video below examines the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II lens for both full frame and APS-C cameras. Some sample pictures are included. Says the reviewer:

I would never buy a 70-200mm f/4 lens – I like to shoot at brighter apertures – but I still love using them, they’re great fun. Is this most recent of Canon’s one of the best ever made?

Of course it is!

  • Aperture Range: f/4 to f/32
  • One Fluorite Element and Two UD Elements
