People have said this isn't the sharpest lens and I would agree. Having said that, I am a pure hobbyist and I absolutely love this lens. The 200mm is great for wildlife photos but if you switch to 4K video, the additional 1.7x crop essentially gives you something like 500mm equivalent reach for video, add enhanced image stabilization and it goes even further with pretty great stabilization (you'll probably have to manual focus in this mode though). It was the Image stabilization that sold it for me. It is rock solid! I got the lens renewed and it works perfectly. Highly recommend! Read more

This renewed Canon lens arrived in a plain white box wrapped in bubble plastic, but it looks and functions like new. It has plastic construction, but operates smoothly and with no issues. It takes nice photos from what I can see so far, although this might not be the best lens for video. I quite happy with it so far and look forward to using it more. Read more

Awesome telefoto lens. I don't think Canon gets the credit it deserves. Would buy another Canon lens anytime. Read more

The lens works as hoped! It was just like a new lens. I personally love the 200mm lens, I am able to zoom without issue, capturing much more close-up photos. I have found that the image stabilization can be funky, but generally works fine. Read more

I bought this for an event and I’m so glad I did. It arrived in excellent condition. It performed really well in a well lit area. I used this for video and the footage was so crisp and had beautiful color. I can’t believe they discontinued this but I’m glad I was able to get it at a pretty good price. Definitely worth it.
