Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

EOS digital SLRs are backed up by the world's most comprehensive system of interchangeable lenses. From 14mm ultra wide angle to 600mm super telephoto, the 60+ lenses in the EF series cover all possible shooting requirements. See the world from new perspectives. Capture your vision through the eyes of EOS.

Fixed focal length lenses generally offer a wider maximum aperture than zoom lenses. From ultra-wide angle lenses ideal for indoor shooting to long telephoto lenses extensively used for wildlife, sports and news photography Canon has the fixed focal length lens to suit you.

Canon offers a telephoto lens boasting high image quality and carrying ease. With two UD-glass elements and rear focusing to correct aberrations, image delineation is extremely sharp. Fast f/2.8 200mm Canon EF medium telephoto is ideal for sports and action photography in most lighting conditions.

Background blur is also natural looking, as was simulated by Canon. The lens comes with a dedicated, detachable hood.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Photographer's Dream 9 Feb 2009
By A. Roberton TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
I have had this lens for over a year now and feel I am well aquainted with it enough to give it a review.
The first thing you notice is the size and weight. Heavy(ish) yes, but built to last, very solid. The image quality is superb, as you would expect from an 'L' lens. Auto-focussing is amazing, both quick and crisp. Colour representation is excellent, in fact I have not seen better. Believe it or not this also makes for a great portrait lens as you have to be some distance away from the subject in order to frame the photograph, this allows the subject to feel a lot more relaxed, thus creating a more natural image. This is especially useful at weddings when you want those special candid shots where the subject is unaware of what you are doing. Sometimes these shots make the wedding.
I like to use my 2x extender giving me a 400mm lens whilst retaining autofocus. The focussing speed is very slightly slowed down by using the extender, but not enough to cause any real problems. I use this combination photographing birds, both stationery and in flight and have had some excellent results.
Photographing people (without)the extender gives clear crisp and colourful images - then again every 'L' lens I have tried does this anyway.
As with any fixed lens, the photographer has to move in order to get what they really want, but surely this is what photography is all about.
I have no hesitation in recommending this lens to any photographer, especially if you want to take your photography onto the next level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! 7 July 2011
Yes, this lens might not be as flexible as one of the 70-200 zooms, but goodness me, what image quality! I used it for the first time last weekend, at an indoor concert; it gave me amazingly sharp detail and gorgeously deep colours even when hand-held (steadily!) at 1/100s f2.8. "L" indeed!

5.0 out of 5 stars The primepipe 23 April 2011
I've had this lens for a couple of years now and the image quality is superb, beaten only by the 135L.
Probably one of my least used lenses along with my 17-40, but that's because I'm mainly in the 24 to 135 range. Wouldn't be without it though and its definitely the best bargain in the canon L stable.

The 70-200 L zooms are probably just as good and certainly more convenient, but the f4 is slower and the f2.8 is much bigger, heavier and also considerably more expesive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous lens 8 Dec 2012
By J. Lunt
i have a bunch of Canon L series teles for various purposes: 70-200 f4, 70-200 f2.8 and my favourite the 200 f2.8 prime. This thing is simply amazing. Focuses in a flash, is light weight for travelling with (I'd guess it's a third the weight of the 70-200 f2.8), brings the subject right out of the picture with that amazing narrow DoF. I love it. It's also very cheap: it must be the bargain of the Canon L range. There are plenty out there second hand and the lens is bomb proof so worth checking into non-new options. Summary: stunning.

See my picture posted up of Maisy, my Irish Water Spaniel... great detail, lovely colours, excellent DoF.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning ... 26 May 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
It was my youngest Son a 'technical reviewer' on digital media that first raised the question for me as to whether someone like me who liked photographing wildlife would be 'better off' with a fixed focal length lens rather than a 'zoom' one. After thinking about it, I realised that my 'typical' 75-300 lens was always (pretty much), set at 300 but the f-stops are as a consequence, "pretty low". Could such a (fixed focus), lens work better ? Of course the moment you looked at fixed focal length lenses and probably because they sold in lower quantities, they apart from some 50mm ones were really expensive.

As an 'early adopter of a DSLR (Canon D30) back in 2000 with its 3.3 mpx I have been through very many camera bodies but the lenses "stay with us" because that is where the 'real investment' is. This is not lightweight, it is a solid 'chunk' but also, totally wonderful for those who are serious about their photography and for me, teamed up with my 7D, a totally brilliant experience.

This is not for "everyone", it really depends on what you want. Price is not the "guide", function is all and that 'function' depends on your use of 'imaging' and if a camera phone does for you, ignore this because it is for 'real photographers'. One final comment for those who think about such stuff, at it's 'price point' it is a total 'steal', at around slightly 'North' of £600 one of the Best Buys I have ever encountered.

Fantastic prime lens at a bargain price. The image quality is beautiful on this lens. I use it for candid portraits and have taken motorsport shots with it. Used with 1.4x extender and 2x and it is still fantastic.

used inside on tripod only but seems excellent and small depth of field is very useful. Pity no stabilization - it is a huge help to one handed people like me

I bought this product for my wife who does professional photography and from the feedback I heard from her she thought it was great and it's visible in the photos as well.
