  • Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Very sharp, high contrast, excellent IS, weather sealed
    IS modes are manual, doesn't come with a tripod ring

    The pictures it takes are as good as the numbers and graphs show above. The IS is pretty amazing at 200mm and the pictures turn out stunning! You can't go wrong with this lens.

  • Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Very sharp, high contrast, excellent IS, good AF
    Not weather sealed, some zoom creep, expensive for the construction quality you get

    I use this lens most and I love it fast, constant aperture. The IS also works great. It would be much better if they made this L-quality construction for the price. It would also be nice to have a higher magnification ratio.
