For most photographers, a high quality 70-200mm f/2.8 image stabilized lens is one of the most important and most frequently used lenses in the kit and Canon's current version of this lens is always at the top or very close to the top of our most popular lens list. The reasons for this popularity include usefulness, performance and affordability.
For many photographers, the 70-200mm focal length range is second only to a general purpose normal zoom lens in terms of need and usefulness. Canon's flagship 70-200mm lens is optically impressive and its excellent autofocus performance ensures that the full optical impressiveness is realized. Image stabilization adds to the already-great versatility and, on top of that, a great build quality - including weather sealing - makes this professional-duty lens reliable and fun to use. The relative affordability of this lens, especially compared to longer focal length f/2.8 options, is the reason that many choose this lens and the size and weight difference is similarly compelling.
Canon's flagship 70-200mm f/2.8L IS Lens has long been one of my most-used lenses and my first choice for a great variety of needs.
When Canon introduces a replacement lens, it has always improved upon its predecessor and that is again the case with this lens. However, the advantages of this lens are not going to be wildly-compelling in convincing version II lens owners to make the upgrade to the version III option. Canon called it a "refresh" and it is just that. Still, it is an excellent and useful lens.
