It is the world’s fastest 200mm telephoto lens. Three UD-glass elements eliminate secondary spectrum for sharp images at all apertures. The optics have been designed to give excellent background blur. Try it with the maximum aperture’s shallow depth of field. One of the best lenses Canon has ever made, and therefore the reason why it came under my attention: Very sharp and very fast, ideal for low-light sports work and candid portraits, ideal for gymnastics and any other indoor sports.
However, from f2.8 to f4, the image becomes razor sharp that shows dazzling contrast and colours. This lenses strengths are not just the excellent colours and contrast, but also the fact that with f1.8 even low light problems become a thing of the past.
