Top of the line!!! 5 by .. M. Kelliher (Boise ID)
This is a 5 star lens. If you want a lens much smaller that the 70-200 2.8L and 70-200 F4L but want the quality the 200 F2.8L is the way to go. I purchased the 70-200 F4 and found it just a little to big. The 200 2.8 is perfect.I have also gotton excellent bokeh with this lens.

If you are looking for an all in one lens go buy a 28-300 zoom. This is not that lens.
