Got this used but in great condition. Saw it on some videos for astropotography and I can't lie, I love the look. Wasn't overwhelmed with star shapes, but perhaps I should have stopped it down, something to try in the future. Overall it's a nice sharp lens with acceptable chromatic aberration

From the manufacturer
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens
High-performance, L-series telephoto zoom lens combining light weight and compactness with an f/4 maximum aperture. Inner focusing and the ring USM enable quick and quiet auto-focusing. Also, a circular polarizing filter can be attached and used without difficulty because the front lens element does not rotate during focusing. The tripod collar (sold separately) is the same one used with the EF 300mm f/4L USM.

Briefly - What a great lens this is!
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L - Amazing piece of glass!
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2011
First of all, a little bit about me: I am a student and I am getting more and more serious about photography as a hobby and passion. So far, I have learned more and more, but surely I am far from understanding the beautiful world of photography.
Currently I own the Canon 7D, which is a very versatile and great camera! I own the above named lens, plus the 50mm f/1.8 and the 28-135mm USM IS, which I will replace soon.
1. The price:
Yes, this is what we call a bang for the buck. In relative terms though. Relative to other L lenses this is one of the moest inexpensive lens (I avoid using cheap, since cheap is always associated with low quality as well). Nevertheless, in these times, I am certain that the vast majority of us is on a tight budget. and about $600-700 is quite a little fortune for most of us - for a piece of glass.
Nonetheless I am more than happy with my lens. It is worth its money, every penny! And there was not a moment, since I have used this lens, that I regret spending the money for this purchase!
2. The build quality:
As you may expect from an L lens the build quality is second to none. Yes, this lens, as well as the f/2.8 version are not weathersealed. Yet, they are very robust, one can survive with this lens easily in harsher weather.
Once you open the box and have this lens in your hand you can just feel the quality and the work that has been put into this little piece of excellence.
In order to store it properly, this lens comes with a nice leather bag (and a lens hood, which is very useful to protect your glass physically and protect it against unwanted light influence).
For a telephoto lens this is also one of its lightest in its class. The weight feels reasonable, comfortable on a Camera such as the 7D. One could walk with this combination for a couple of hours and would not break one's arm. Of course, each person's preference is different. To me, the weight of this lens is optimal.
3. Optical quality:
Is this the best lens of Canon's L family? Probably not. Does that say anything? Probably not. It all comes to what you need and what you want and also: what you are capable of as a photographer.
As for me, this lens is perfect. I mostly shoot in good light condition, because I just love the natural sunlight as my source of light. Also I like to shoot in dawn and so far no problem for me.
The f/4 aperture might scare some people away, but if you really think about it, ask yourself, how often do you really use an aperture of f/2.8 with a focal length of 70-200m (multiplied by 1.6 with Crop Cameras such as the Canon 7D).
If you do a lot of shoots in poor light conditions, yes the stop that you get from the 2.8 version might reason the $1000 difference in price.
For me, I am totally satisfied with the lens as it is.
Also the lack of IS has not been an issue for me so far. In low light, it would be helpful at times, nevertheless with a tripod and/or a good flash, shooting at night will not be a big problem.
4. Should one buy this lens?
YES - clear yes! If you do not need an IS and/or an aperture of 2.8 this lens is one of the best bargains you can make. I love this lens and so far I do not intend to trade this one in. And don't forget, that there is always a learning curve! Shots might be not as magnificent at the beginning, but once you get to know this lens and understand more about photography, this lens is a superb one.
Moreover this lens is great to shoot outdoor action such as sports. Even as a portrait lens this one serves very well!
All in all, you cannot do a lot wrong by purchasing this lens.
I had a hard time thinking about weather to buy it or not and I am honestly very glad that I did purchase this lens.
If you saved up enough, get this lens, you would not regret it. Try it out for a while and then judge it. One of the biggest benefits of this lens is, that the price does not decline significantly over time, even used, due to its high quality.
Get this lens, go out and enjoy shooting with it!
