Canon 200mm f/2L IS

Canon 200mm f/2L IS

The successor to the legendary 200mm f/1.8L, this new lens has a bit tighter aperture but adds Canon’s 4-stop fourth-generation Image Stabilization. With 17 optical elements including fluorite and low dispersion glass elements, the lens is supposed to have lower chromatic aberration and faster autofocus than its predecessor, better dust and weather proofing, and remain amazingly sharp even wide open.

The 200mm primes are THE indoor sports lenses, often used for theater work and other low light applications. They are superb with 1.4x teleconverters, giving the option of creating a 280mm f/2.8 lens, and even good with a 2x converter, becoming a 400mm f/4.

Roger’s Take: Faster than Paris Hilton, sharper than my ex-wifes tongue, more contrast than a Democratic Primary, backgrounds as beautifully blurred as my memories of that weekend in Cancun, but more expensive than an Illinois Congressman on vacation with a lobbyist. This lens is phenomenal just as it is. With a set of teleconverters it can be any lens you want it to be from 200mm to 400mm.

For the die-hards among you let’s get it out of the way first—I have owned and shot the 200 f/1.8. This lens is every bit as good from a sharpness standpoint and while its common use (indoor sports) doesn’t require the IS feature too often, the IS is quite amazing. It takes 1.4x and 2x teleconverters very well which allows you to have 200 f/2.0, 280 f/2.8, and 400 f4/ IS lenses all in one package.
