Canon is in the process of releasing new versions of both the f/2.8 and f/4 versions of their extremely popular 70-200mm zooms. Both of these lenses are extremely useful, and for those that don’t need the greater light gathering potential of the f/2.8 lens, the new Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM II lens will offer an enticing combination of a pro-grade build, great optics and performance, and a weight that is only about 60% of the “big brother”. This is particularly nice if you need to travel light and/or want a telephoto lens for landscape use. As I still have the Tamron 70-210mm f/4 VC on hand, I’ll do some comparing and contrasting to the newest competitor. My early impressions of the new Canon 70-200L II are very positive, but stay tuned for more detailed coverage. In the meantime, you can check out images of the lens along with images from it.
