The Canon EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 consumer lens

The EF 80-200mm lens is telephoto zoom lens made by Canon. The lens has an EF mount that works with the EOS line of cameras.

This lens comes in two different versions:

  • f/2.8L professional lens
  • f/4.5-5.6 consumer lens

The 2.8L version of the lens was brought to the market in September 1989, and retailed for about US$1,320. This well regarded professional lens was discontinued in 1996 and replaced by the current 70-200/2.8 L. The main difference between these lenses is that the earlier model does not work with the Canon 1.4 and 2.0 extender and lacks the quieter Ultrasonic Motor.

The f/4.5-5.6 consumer lens does not perform as well both optically and mechanically as the professional lens.citation needed
