Still a very solid choice

The first interpretation of the 70-200 2.8 IS was such a timeless build that well-preserved, well-used and not abused examples are still considered a very solid choice of standard telephoto zoom lenses.

I used mine for several years in diverse sports photography situations in sometimes harsh weather conditions and it always delivered. Its build quality is excellent, very durable and still from the quality era of engineering.
