Overall
Owner since: 4 years
Price: About $700
User profile: Amateur
Cons: None, except it is not f2.8.
Pros: This lens is a light zoom lens. It is much lighter than my 24-70mm f/2.8L lens. But, it gives me the opportunity to take some great pictures. I could carry this around all day, and it would not be a bother.
Summary: I love this lens. I like the range of 70-200mm. The price for an L lens was really good. I have found it works for me in the daytime, but not so good in low light conditions. I used it when I photographed The Sonics reunion in Tacoma, WA about three years ago, and it allowed me to get some face shots from my seat. That, alone, was worth it to me.

Price: $780
User profile: Amateur
Cons: It's not a IS f2.8 mark II? None really
Pros: Excellent image quality, especially for the price. Tough. Sharp@f4. Fast accurate focusing. Lighter than it's big brothers
Summary: Excellent lens, first one to demonstrate to me the value of good glass. if you don't need IS or F2.8, or have the funds for the higher spec 70-200's these are a great piece of kit.
Overall

Price: $430 Used
User profile: Semipro
Cons: Really, none,considering price and value. Only thing some dislike is the f/4 aperture but it's not like they sprung it on you - get the 2.8 if you need to shoot indoor sports in the dark...
Pros: IQ, build quality, sharpness, color rendition, usability, weight, value, etc.
Summary: Where else can you get so many good things for a decent price? This lens and the 17-40 f/4L are the 'hidden gems' of the Canon L line - extremely decent glass at affordable prices. If you don't need IS you can get this lens used for $400-$500 and never look back.

Price: 600
User profile: Amateur
Cons: I wish it is black
Pros: Compare to my other lens, even primes, this is one of the very best, other than its bigger brother f2.8 IS.
Summary: I am tired of picking which lens to carry with me from my 12 lens. I decided to sell most of them, but keep the 70-200 F4, 15-85, 50f1.8 and 85f1.8. I wish the price of 200mm f2.8 comes down, so I can get it cheaper and use it for candid street shoots, due to its black color.

Cons: (No cons at all for the specification as it does not come with wide- 'f' or IS)
Pros: * Super sharp images right from 70 all the way through 200 in f4 * Very nice rounded bokeh * Solid built * Reasonable pricing
Summary: Best suitable for * daylight outdoor sports/wedding * bird / animals * Landscape (No I'm not kidding) (Note: If you can afford, I'd highly recommend the IS version which is probably the best)
