Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM

While I use this lens for a variety of outdoor photography situations with excellent results, my main need was for a high quality zoom lens to use for low-light theater photography. When I was shooting film with my Canon T-90 and a Tokina 70-200 f/2.8 lens (using an 80A filter to make the on camera color correction for daylight film) usually using Porta 800 or Extapress or similar with good results.
When I made the move to digital (Canon 5D) I ideally wanted a fast lens (f/2.8). However, this Canon f/4 lens works very well for low-light digitial theater photography. I shoot from a tripod during dress rehearsals. The ability to dial up the ISO "on the fly" as needed or using exposure compensation produces outstanding results under this situation.

Strongly recommmed this lens!
