Our expert's opinion

A 70-200mm f/2.8 is the workhorse of professionals. It’s fast enough for action photography and low-light conditions. It bridges the gap between a dedicated portraiture lens and a long telephoto lens. Its flexibility makes it perfect for unscripted events, such as shooting a wedding or a product launch.

Every professionally really needs one of these. It’s expensive and it’s heavy – but it’s amazing. 22 elements in 18 groups, nine rounded diaphragm blades, image stabilisation. It’s wonderful to shoot. You’ll know you’ve crossed over to the elite when you own one of these.

For users of previous models, the change in the zoom ring and take a little to get used to.
