You will get an equiv. field of view of 216mm at f/2 on it for a MUCH cheaper price then the 200L f/2  BUT the images are nowhere near the quality you get from using it with a 5d. Those images are just "magic", combine that with the 200/2 and you have the dream set up.

airfrogusmc I'm a chimper. There I said it... More info | Jul 01, 2010 07:44 | #6 Cham_001 wrote in post #10458679 Hi, Looking at options, how well do you honestly rate your EF200mm F2L IS lens? I am toying with the idea of getting this for: i. celestial/astro photography ii. studio - close-crop portraits iii. outdoor portraiture iv. pet photography (monkies, parrots, birds and cats) Should I decide to buy this lens in Brazil - it will then end up costing me 3 times the price of that in the UK. Advice appreciated in advance....  Don't know if its long enough for the astro stuff but its one of Canons BEST and works for all the others listed and is a killer candid lens.

I can get low light candids consistently at 1/40 of a sec at events I shoot and therefor get shots I would never be able to get with the 135 and it is a great pairing with a FF body like the 5D.

You will get an equiv. field of view of 216mm at f/2 on it for a MUCH cheaper price then the 200L f/2 You'd get the FOV, you'd get f/2 for the same exposure, but you will NOT get the same DOF as using 200mm @ f/2 on a FF body (assuming you keep the same position to keep the framing/perspective the same)

airfrogusmc I'm a chimper. There I said it... More info | Yep the 300 2.8 is one of 3 lenses that are Canons best but a 300 is usually to long to shoot candids (200 2L is almost to long(I said almost LoL)and portraits in a studio (most anyway) but the 300 2.8 the 200 2L and the 400 2.8 are all 3 great and 3 of Canons best. Good glass is and will probably always be expensive. Have you checked the prices of Lieca M or Hassy Zeiss? The 200 2L is one of Canons lenses that is in that kind of quality category. What I kinda find a little skewed is the fact some have no problem with dropping 5 K on a body but find glass at the price point to pricey.
