Review for this lens is planned, here are some comments and sample images:
Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM is a very nice lens. It is mach smaller and lighter than any 70-200 zoom lens, gives better image quality than any zoom lens. New Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II IS USM is better optically, but it is much bulkier and costs 4 times more. Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM is sharp even wide open, and is very sharp stopped down. It has fast AF and nice and smooth bokeh. And it is the longest L telephoto lens that is black in color, so when you shoot with it in the streets you don't draw as much attention as you do shooting with 70-200L zooms.
Telephoto lens boasting high image quality and carrying ease. With two UD-glass elements and rear focusing to correct aberrations, image delineation is extremely sharp. Background blur is also natural-looking, as was simulated by Canon. The lens comes with a dedicated, detachable hood. – this is a short description from official Canon web site.
