if u put an extension tube on the F4 wil the autofocus keep working? with the F2.8 you get a 280mm F4 or a 400mm F5.6 with autofocus. how is that with the F4 version? or this works or not makes a big difference for me, since i even like to put on the 1.4 extender on my 300mm prime with some animals in the zoo. looking forward to your answer.

I came here to see the zoom capabilities of this lens and I find that it shows up as a fixed lens. It would have been important if at least one shot could be seen zooming in since I read in a review that it is a lens that behaves in a parafocal way. Thanks for the effort to make this video anyway.

@AnandaGarden Күн бұрын

Thank you. Judging by portrait photos on Flickr, I'll opt for the 2.8, as it has much better microcontrast as revealed in the texture on faces - where the f/4 looks flatter and duller. I've seen comments by other pros who've made the same observation. Thankfully, the used prices of the 2.8s are inviting now.

I've owned both of these lenses for a while, and although the f4 IS II is lighter, the look just isn't the same, its taken me 2 years of missing the 2.8, there's just something "romantic" about the look, the F4 just doesn't have it. The f4 is a great lens and is super light and fun to use, but the 2.8 is such a great well rounded lens. Either one will be sufficient for almost any photo.

If I were to buy one of these, now, they would be used on my 80d. But 80d has a significant limitation--Diffraction limiting aperture is 5.9. I have not beern able to find a graph showing image quality drop off beyond f/5.9. Now the mark 3 of the f/2.8 L is available, but I don't see a reason to spend more money for it. The f/4 version has 5 stops of image stabilization..I think the f/2.8 is only 3.5.

@HHTV60 5 жыл бұрын

if you upgrade the camera to a full frame, you'd see definite improvement in image quality. i have a relatively cheap 6D Mark 2 and I'm quite happy with it - using it for video and photography. My walk-around lens is a Canon 35 mm f/2 IS USM, and I just ordered a 70-200 f/4 IS Version 2.

@TonymanCS 5 жыл бұрын

I don't think DFA is something we should really care about. The difference is extremely slim and most 70-200 lenses shines at f5.6 anyway. Post processing would take care of the rest. I don't think you would need more than 4 stops of IS while that 1 extra stop can be crucial to capture movement- you get 1/200s instead of 1/100s. The only issues is the weight- a f2.8 lens weight twice as much as its f4 cousin and boy- holding a camera with a 1,6kg 70-200 f2.8 lens for 3 hours can be really tiring.
