What Does A Nikon Shooter Think Of The New Canon L Series Lens?
September 21, 2010
As a professional photographer I am often asked “what camera should I buy?” My response is always “whatever gets you the results.” It might be an elusive response, and I certainly don’t mean to sit on the fence with it…but it’s really true.
And I have fantastic Nikon gear and was sold on Nikon….until recently….I used the latest Canon 70-200mm f 2.8 IS L series lens on the weekend. I was asked to shoot a wedding and used this lens to do so. And my goodness….the quality!
Incredibly sharp, smooth, easy to use.
One thing I noticed the most about this lens was that it did everything I wanted. I didn’t have to mess around with focusing, or shifting my position to get a better depth of field. it just did it for me. And boy, was I impressed!
I won’t show you the wedding shots just yet because my clients haven’t gone through the images and it’s fair they see them before you do- but I can show you the shots of the second shoot I did.
Here are a few examples…..
The same in colour…
And the same in colour…
So what do I think of the Canon 70-200mm 2.8 L IS USM lens? I think my defection is complete….
If you want to learn how to take photos like the ones above then I can teach you, easily, quickly and super fast.

I’ve owned this lens for a awhile now.. and yes it is a fairly amazing bit of kit. I use it often, but do find it kills my neck after a few hours

I love this lens, I’ve been using it for a year now. But it is heavy, but it’s worth it for the great quality it is able to get. Thanks for the great post Amy!

Thanks for a great post Amy. I used this lens and found it sharp as well. I took photos of my sons Christening and the shots turned out well. I used to be a Nikon shooter too! Have you used the Canon 50mm prime?

Amy,
It’s an amazing lens. Another lens you need to try is the 24-70mm F2.8 L Canon. Another fantastic lens.

I have heard some people saying L series makes pgotography easy. I don’t know how far that is true. Is it like you need to dabble around with a normal lens and then proceed to L..I don’t think so. thoughts
