Drag your mouse vertically over the mouseover labels to see a focal length comparison (all images were captured
from the same tripod position). Drag your mouse horizontally over the mouseover labels to see an aperture
comparison within a focal length. Take special note of the f/2.8 background blur advantage this lens has
compared to other available lenses with narrower max apertures (f/4 and f/5.6 especially).
Here is another full frame focal length comparison at f/8.

The other reason for choosing a 70-200mm L Lens is simply the overall quality of these lenses. They all are built
very well, quietly focus fast and have great image quality. The
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens
is a
popular lens and has IS and a lower price, but it is not up to the level of the L lenses in these other regards.
