If you've read Ken Rockwell's review on the Canon 70-200mm f/4 L IS lens, you will know that this lens is one of the sharpest zoom lenses ever created, and not just for Canon. There are a lot of recommendations on this new lens from Canon. If you have a chance to shoot photographs with and without image stabilization (IS) feature, you know that in some conditions an image stabilization is a must. I had times that only one of four images that were taken in 200mm, were sharp enough and without blur. This image stabilization uses a new technology which compensates handshakes up to four stops, like the VR II on Nikon's side.
Nevertheless, Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM lens has excellent optical quality. It's uses the ultra sonic motor (USM), that makes focus operate silently and fast. Because it is an 'L' (Luxury) lens, you get what you paid for. The construction is a top notch and the lens is weather sealed. The filter size is 67mm in the camera can focus starting from 1.2m from the image plane.
The ergonomics of Canon 70-200m f/4 L USM is absolutely excellent with no glitches. It is easy to hold and control and focusing mechanism works smooth like a butter, and the zooming is also excellent, no creeps whatsoever. Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS is an excellent telephoto zoom lens, and a great upgrade of the older 70-200mm non-IS version.
