  • Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Very Good Lens w/ Image Stabilization
    I want it to be even longer . . .

    I bought this one instead of the 400 f5.6 because it has the Image Stabilization. Add the 1.4x mulitiplier and this lens is still very good, as long as the 400, same effective aperture, WITH IS! I have excellent quality 13 x 19 prints taken with the 5D2 & older 10D.
    (I wish Canon would put IS on the 400mm f5.6)

    Newer body (5D2) and results are still excellent.

    Only down side to using the 1.4x is focusing speed for moving wildlife.

  • Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Super Sharp, fast, Image Stabilization
    Big & not light weight

    It is an excellent lens! I really appreciate the IS, have handheld as slow as 1/30th with very good quality. If I could change anything, it would be to make it smaller & less weight, but keep everything else about it!

  • Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Great quality, reasonable speed
    Big & not light

    I like this lens! It stays on my 10D for anything that resembles normal focal length. If they could just add the IS to this . . .

  • Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

    8 out of 10 points and recommended
    Small, Light weight, quality images!
    a bit long for APS sized sensors like the 20D & my 10D

    I like it! My only gripe is that it becomes a little too long when used with the 10D/20D size sensor. I would love to test it on a FF body.
