The Primepipe is without any doubt the most consistent lens I've ever shot. Wide-open or stopped-down, near-infinity or at minimum focus distance; center or corner... makes no difference. I really tried to tease out artifacts, but they simply wouldn't show. Shoot it as you like, the lens will add no variables to the picture: no need to stop down to get rid of artifacts or maximize sharpness.

The EF 200 2.8L USM is small, light, tough, discreet, fast and delivers optical quality in spades. For discriminating hikers, travelers and amateurs this lens deliverers quality without breaking their shoulder (and bank) and can take the knocks they dish out. Plus, it works equally well with both film and digital bodies.

If you require f/2.8 at 200 and can't afford the more versatile Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM Lens or the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens, the Canon EF 200mm f 2.8 L II USM Lens is the right choice. These zoom lenses are also larger, heavier and more obvious when in use.

The EF 200mm f/2.8 L USM II is a very good to excellent lens both in terms of optical and mechanical qualities. As to be expected the performance decreases when using tele converters but generally the results remain very good here.
