Incorporating Canon's second-generation Image Stabilization technology, this 70-200mm telephoto zoom responds in as little as 0.5 seconds while providing up to three stops of correction for camera shake. As a result, you can easily capture the far-off action of fast-paced sports or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. The lens's autofocus (AF) system, meanwhile, has been refined for better response time and tracking speed. And photographers will love the new eight-blade circular aperture, which offers a more pleasing out-of-focus image. Constructed to pro standards, the EF 70-200mm lens is highly dust- and moisture-resistant and carries a one-year warranty.
The Canon USA 7042A002 70mm to 200mm /f2.8 IS USM is an exceptional zoom lens for use with a Canon SLR camera body (35mm or Digital). A unique feature is that this lens incorporates Canon's second generation Image Stabilization technology. Maximum Diameter x Length, Weight - 3.4 x 7.8, 3.24 pounds

This is one of the most versatile high quality lenses around. For the hobbyist, this will suffice as your number one lens for portraits and medium distance telephoto shots. It's a fast lens with exceptional quality glass.
This lens, along with the EF 14-35mm f/2.8L USM and the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM is all a serious hobbyist-photographer needs as basic gear. Ok, it's expensive; but so is quality. If you're a designer and not a pure photographer, then don't waste money on high quality glass. A high end point and shoot will do. Photoshop/Painter skills is where you should invest.

| Date: 2008-09-16I shoot a lot of horse events (dressage, jumping, etc.) and this lens has rapidly become my favorite, both for range and speed. Stops action with crisp detail and beautiful color. Somewhat heavy, but pretty much ANY lens in this category is going to give your arms a workout. I use a monopod for more stability.
