  • By far, the SHARPEST lens I own.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 17, 2002
    Pros: SHARP as a prime, FAST, Tack sharp, excellent contrast.
    Cons: Large, expensive.

    Summary: When I started doing Digital SLR photography, I started out slow. I already spent most of my money on the D30 digital body to the tune of $2800, and didn't have many choices in lenses. So, I purchased a 28-200mm zoom lens as an all-arounder ... read more

  • An outstanding lens if you get a good copy

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 5, 2004
    Pros: Focus Speed Color and Contrast My copy sharp wide open
    Cons: None

    Summary: This lens is much maligned, but one must first understand that it is a much greater challenge to make a quality superwide angle zoom in the first place. Let me say that I have a number of first rate images that I seriously doubt would have been nearly as ... read more

  • great landscape, portrait lens

    Pros: super fast auto focus, fast maximum aperture, close focusing
    Cons: cost, weight

    Summary: This is a professional quality wide to short tele zoom with super fast autofocus and large maximum aperture. It's sharp, accurate and produces minimal distortion even at its widest setting. The lens is nicely balanced and since it's an ... read more

  • A perfect mid-range zoom

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 1, 2002
    Pros: Image Quality, Focusing Speed, Durability, Fixed wide aperture
    Cons: Size, Weight, Price, Filter Size

    Summary: This is the best lens I own, and I leave it on my EOS-3 almost all the time. It produces some of the best image quality I have ever seen. It is outstanding for sharpness, contrast, color, flatness, speed of focusing, and just about every other lens ... read more

  • Amazing Professional Lens

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 14, 2001
    Pros: Fast focus, sharp & contrasty photos, build quality
    Cons: Price & weight

    Summary: The Canon 28-70 F2.8 L is one of the best camera lenses that I have ever shot with. As with all L series lenses this one is built like a tank. With all metal construction it is truly a beast of a lens. The weight counter balances well a pro camera ... read more

  • The best mid range zoom bar none

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 17, 2001
    Pros: Excellent build quality, very sharp and contrasty results. Fast autofocus, 77mm filter size
    Cons: Very slight softness at edges when shooting wide open @ 28mm range

    Summary: Over the years I have shot Nikon, Minolta and Pentax. These choices have brought me to become a Canon user today. If you are serious about your SLR photography you will inevitably need to address the need for a lens in the mid range of the spectrum. ... read more

  • Big lens, Big price tag.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 27, 2000
    Pros: Fast, Accurate, Sharp
    Cons: Price, Focal range

    Summary: As a professional, I use this lens for a small amount of portraiture work, but mostly for wide angle and low light shots. Typical of the high quality "L" lens series from Canon, this lens is built to last. With the 77mm filter size, ... read more

  • 2.8 Wide Angle is the way to go!

    Pros: f/2.8, Great Clarity
    Cons: Price, weight

    Summary: So why do I like this lens... The most important thing about this lens is it's flexibility. A constant f/2.8 rocks. It's very difficult to make a zoom wide angle with such a low apature. The image quality is amazing and is really fun to shoot with on

  • A somewhat overpriced "L" series zoom

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Jul 16, 2004
    Pros: Wide constant aperture zoom with solid construction Image quality (on the 1D Mk II)
    Cons: image quality (on the 1D) price weight

    Summary: This is among my worst lenses that I have. Well actually it is the worst but that is not saying it is horrible. It is going up against some amazing other pieces of glass. There is nothing mechanically wrong with this lens. It is environmentally
