Need a Sunny Day, outdoor portrait lens. Was thinking the 70-200mm f/4 L. Anyone have this lens/ get good use out of it? Sorry /p/ i had gear/ opinion threads to, but not online review web page could beat your insight. Pic related.

It's pretty good.
Pictures are sharp, I think you should get it!

Everyone says the f/4 copy is nice and sharp. And in sunlight, f/4 will be more than enough. I say go for it!

Thanks guys. I was just hesitant because its a pretty expensive lens for just being used on sunny days, and outdoors, kind of a hit or miss lens. But i already have a standard zoom, and a nifty fifty, so i figured this would be a good addition. Plus, i really want me sum "L" glass.

The lens is white, and that's awesome.

That's the thing about L lenses. They'll depreciate a bit out of the box, but after that, unless you fuck them up, they really retain their value. After that, the only reason they depreciate is because eventually newer, better lenses come out. But 70-200 f/4 (or f/2.8 w/ or w/o IS) will always be in some demand.

the 85/1.8 or 1.4 are excellent and sharp as shit. also, the big aperture 85's can be used in pretty dim light. good all-around portrait lens there

Get the f/4 IS version. Way sharper than all the others and you can hand hold the fucker as low as 1/10th of a second.

Its like $1000 too (I think there may be a Canon sponsored $75 rebate floating around).
