I personally just purchased the f/4.0L,
which, coupled with a relatively wide max aperture and shooting at either
1600 or 3200 on my 20D, should do nicely, but I still rate the 2.8 high up
on my list.

Excellent, but Watch out whit the filter Diameter, December 28, 2005
Reviewer: Gerardo C. Guzman Lozano
This lens is outstanding, it has a very solid and strong construction. Any
thing i could say may be redundant, my only advice is that the filter
Diameter must be 77MM not 67mm like amazon's says.

Pros: Excellent build and amazing picture quality. Fast AF and beautiful
Bokeh. This is what separates the L's from the rest.
Cons: Maybe could be cheaper but it's definitely worth the money
Pros: It's all been said already. Phenomenal value. Perfection in a tube.
Cons: Gives a false sense that all Canon 'L' zooms are this good. They
aren't.
Pros: Tack-sharp at f/2.8, nice size, easily hand-holdable, practically
glued to the camera, works great with the 1.4x TC.
Cons: Hood fits a little bit tight, but other than that, nothing!
if your a newbie here's some info
A lens is "fast" when it has a low f-stop... ok so when you have a smaller
number the apature is bigger which allows more light through, so this
means you can up the shutter speed. and still have enough light reach the
sensor.
ok so lets say you have an out door shot if you have say an f/4 lens the
shutter speed could be 1/250 of a second and you would get a good exposer.
Now this lens can only go f/4
but if you in the same outdoor setting, had an f/2.8 lens you could jump
to 1/500 of a second and get the same exposer. and freeze the action mmore
effectivly, this i believe is why it's a "fast" lens.
ok have fun and get it done

Essential for serious and active photographers, April 27, 2003
Reviewer: Ben Chroneos
I bought this lens in January of 2003 after much recommendation. For what
I had been shooting (college basketball) the 70-200mm f/2.8L was the most
commonly seen lens aside from the 300mm f/2.8L. The fstop of 2.8 along
with the zoom were the initial factors that drew me to buying it.
I first shot with it on January 11, 2003 at the Louisville vs. Saint Louis
game and I was very impressed with the results I got, much of the
unsharpness I thought originally to be attributed to grain was almost
completely absent with this lens using the same film I had been using.
This lens has spoiled me, it will be very hard on my next lens purchase to
buy anything but L glass.
Another thing I should note, this lens is built like a tank, like all
L-Series lenses and 1-series bodies, it can take a beating, this is not to
say you should actively knock it into things or throw it around on purpose
but mine has been sandwiched between me and a basketball player falling
out of bounds before.
It's also not a light lens,
but focusing is fast and smooth. If you plan on shooting a LOT or have
professional aspirations, the lens may not make the photographer, but it
can help.
