Kai from Digital Rev takes on a exciting protest filled review of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II in comparison to it’s older counterparts. While the f/4 and f/2.8 are great lenses in their own rights, spending a little more money on the latest f2.8 IS II from Canon can take your pro photographer shots to the next level.

- Canon 70-200mm Lens f/4: Best price at $699 and provides top notch auto focus and bokeh.
- Canon 70-200mm Lens f/2.8: Mid range price at $1800, lets in more light, takes better indoor photos and depth of field.
- Canon 70-200mm Lens f2.8 II: The latest and greatest priced at $2400, it has a more solid build, reduced color fringing, sharpness at lengthy zooms all thanks to a new lens design formula.
If your budget can afford it go for the Canon 70-200mm Lens Big Battle f2.8 II, otherwise all three are excellent lenses.
