Last update (Jun 13, 2009): Sarah Palin photos with the 5D Mark II.
This page is a collection of photo samples taken with the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens, plus related image galleries, user pictures and other examples that I’ve come across in forums, online communities, blogs and related websites.
This should help in determining if the image quality of the 70-200/2.8L meets your expectations.
Bear in mind that the majority of these photos are re-sized, and may have gone through post-processing, retouching or other edits. I just thought that it would be interesting to see, at a glance, what Canon 70-200mm f2.* L owners and users are shooting with their lens.
Full-sized images, where available, will assist with judging the image quality.

Sarah Palin photos with the 5D Mark II
Mike Pasik shared three fantastic Canon 5D Mark II pictures of Sarah Palin, who was in “Auburn New York to celebrate Founders Day”.
Mike also revealed the lens he used for the shots, the EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM for the 1st image, and a Canon EF 1.4X II Extender (TC / teleconverter) was added in to extend the reach of the lens for the second and third photo.
DPP was used to convert the sRAW1 files to JPEG, while resizing was done with Adobe Photoshop CS3.
See more at Mike’s “Sarah Palin at Founders Day in Auburn New York” gallery.
