BOSS has a long line of pitch shifters, with each model having something special. PS-6, the last addition is not specifically new but it's a marvel and covers lots of ground. First, there's the harmonizer function that adds harmonies for single note lines, which is good for playing those Hotel California solos. Then there's the detune mode which is a very cool digital chorus. At last is the S-Bend mode which I bought it for. The S-bend functions with momentry switching, while all the rest is regular latching switching. That means the pedal is off, the moment you step on it the effect is engaged and when you take your foot off it turns off. This allows inserting weird glitches and pitch bends mid-solo or mid-riff without having the pedal constantly on.

I was debating in my mind for a while which 70-200mm lens to go for. I have a Canon 100-400 f4.5-5.6 IS II L Lens which is an absolutely brilliant lens. However, it is heavy to carry around. So, do I go for f2.8 lens which would add further capabilities with creativity with depth of field, in addition to my 100-400 lens? Especially, when the excellent Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS II second hand price has dropped since the version III, and price is comparable (£150-200 more compared to Canon 20-200 f4 IS II version second hand). At the end, after much thought, I went for the f4 lens, due to it being compact, easy to carry around and low weight during cityscapes and landscapes photography, which is my main interests. I didn't want to end up with two heavy lenses. I had ... MoreI was debating in my mind for a while which 70-200mm lens to go for.

I didn't want to end up with two heavy lenses. I had researched both version 1 and version 2 lenses of f4 - version 2 lens is a significant upgrade to the version 1 lens, with 5 stop imaging stabilizer, and better image quality. Also, version 2 has shorter minimum focusing distance. i buy second hand only, and version 2 is rarely available second hand at wex website. Keeping a close eye on the wex website for a second hand lens, as I was not in any rush to buy, and as soon as it was available, I bought it. As mentioned previously, the version 2 has shorter minimum focusing distance, and this produces beautiful bokeh. when focusing at minimum distance....I am pleased I did not go for f2.8 as I have a Canon 135mm f2 lens which is a good combination for use with the portable 70-200 f4 for events and portraiture. So far, I have been impressed with the image quality of the lens.

This lens is superb in all aspects except for one which I will talk about later.The image quality is absolutely top notch; the sharpness we all want is there, the colors and contrast are exactly what you would expect from an L lens, and the background blur is creamy at all distances that I've tried.The auto focus is blazing fast and, more importantly, accurate. The DPAF focus transitions that I get on my C200 are smooth, quick and sure... very STM-like. I was afraid they would be jerky like earlier USM lenses. This was a very nice surprise!The image stabilization is a life saver an allows me to shoot acceptable 4K video at 200mm... handheld! IT is quiet and well-behaved with no jumping or anything. The IS mode 3 is interesting but I haven't really found a use ... MoreThis lens is superb in all aspects except for one which I will talk about later.The image quality is absolutely top notch; the sharpness we all want is there, the colors and contrast are exactly what you would expect from an L lens, and the background blur is creamy at all distances that I've tried.The auto focus is blazing fast and, more importantly, accurate.

The IS mode 3 is interesting but I haven't really found a use for it.The only thing I would caution about this lens is that the focus distance has been reduced from 1.2m on the first version to 1m on this second version. Because of this, many version 1 owners might be tempted to upgrade, especially if you do lots of flower shots, little critter shots, etc. I found in my testing that the image quality takes a slight hit at 200mm, minimum focus distance, and a wide open aperture. If you zoom out to 180mm the quality is fine. Or if you stay at 200 but take a couple steps back it is fine. By the time you are 2m away (which won't even fully frame a human head) the image quality is back to being phenomenal. I don't know where the transition point is but tight headshots are definitely in the phenomenal image quality region. But 200mm/MFD/wide open is very slightly soft. The image quality in this circumstance is more than good enough for web use and, if I'm being honest, probably good enough for large prints. Its just that the quality in this one circumstance is not as phenomenal as every other circumstance.All in all, I give it a perfect 5 stars for my uses which is human and pet portraiture, weddings, events, and sports/action photography. This lens equals (or betters) the f/2.8 in every single category. The only thing this lens cannot do that the f/2.8 version can do is open up the aperture one stop wider. Many will wonder if they should get the f/4 or save up for the f/2.8 and I'd say that unless you need that one stop of extra light or the 1 stop of extra background blur (1 stop of blur isn't a huge difference according to my testing) then save yourself some money and chiropractor appointments by getting the cheaper, smaller, lighter, mostly better f/4 version. This new lens is fantastic and well worth its price and space in the bag.Unless, of course, you really HAVE TO shoot at absolute minimum focus distance all the time.

I decided to go with this lens after owning my previous Nikon f2.8 telephoto zoom lens basically because it is way lighter and more portable and I found myself usually struggling to take my f2.8 zoom with me just because it was huge and super heavy. Moreover I also found out that I was only rarely actually using the lens at f2.8 but mostly at f5.6 to f11 and sometimes at f4, so no big reason to carry the extra weight of a f2.8 one. The f4 aperture can still blur enough the backgrounds. Besides when I want fast apertures I always prefer my faster primes. And finally IS adds a very nice bonus to that for when you need to shoot at lower light or just be sure that you won't end up with a shaky image even by using medium shutter speeds like 1/250 for instance that can ... MoreI decided to go with this lens after owning my previous Nikon f2.8 telephoto zoom lens basically because it is way lighter and more portable and I found myself usually struggling to take my f2.8 zoom with me just because it was huge and super heavy.

The Canon EF 70-200mm f4L IS USM is a great option at an affordable price. I think it is a good upgrade to the original non IS version and a good alternative to the bigger f2.8 ones. I find the lens super sharp across the image at every aperture, super fast focusing and the IS is performing quite well. Being an L lens also means it is very well made and with weather sealing. I highly recommend this lens to anyone who doesn't really need f2.8 for action shoots and anyone that wants to carry this lens around without having second thoughts about it. By getting this lens you are not sacrificing any of the optical performance compared to the f2.8 lenses. You get the same lens only smaller and way lighter. It also works amazingly well with both Canon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
The BOSS PS-6 Harmonist pedal is a powerful tool for creating rich, precise harmonies, pitch bends, and detuned textures. With its high-quality pitch-shifting, it opens up endless creative possibilitiesfrom subtle, shimmering harmonies to bold, experimental effects. The controls are intuitive, letting you dial in perfect harmony settings for any style. Whether you're layering harmonies or exploring wild pitch shifts, the PS-6 delivers consistently impressive results, making it a must-have for any guitarist looking to expand their sound palette.
Back in 2008 working at the school news paper, everyone had file era 70-200 F2.8 lenses. I bought the first version of this lens in 2008, which was far into the digital era and 1 year after it was released. I destroyed my fellow shooters who were using old F2.8 versions. Mine was way sharper and focused way faster.Now-a-days I still think the version 1 of this lens is better optically than the 70-200 f2.8 II. I'm not sure how it compares to the RF version, however.Speaking of RF version, those lenses are smaller but at a cost (and a cost in dollars).1. extending lenses suck air into them and dust, moisture and fungus can become a problem.2. these EF lenses zoom all the way from 70 to 200 with a quarter turn it's a super smooth and easy. one thumb needed.

The RF version is harder to move all that glass around thus it's geared down to over half a turn. Meaning if you're using one thumb you'll have to readjust part-way through the zooming action. And it's not as easy, at least on the F2.8 version.Image quality.When this lens was announced, I asked, how could they improve on such an optically brilliant version 1 model? I really think Canon didn't want to keep old AF motors around, didn't want to keep using older image stabilization hardware around, and basically just did a refresh of a perfect lens.I sold my version 1 to my mom about 5 years ago and have missed it so much. I just sold my big heavy sigma 70-200 f2.8 sport, which was fantastic on my R6. I wanted something lighter. This one is much lighter.I bought it on the used market, something which is rare for me.I can basically afford any equipment I want, so price was not much of a factor. So it really was the internal zoom, and ease of zooming and lighter weight than an f2.8 version that really sold me. Also this is a new updated model so I know I'm getting up to date tech with this purchase.People will go on and on about their 2.8 versions, but if you don't need 1 stop faster, this lens is incredible. Read other reviews on here about it being better than the 2.8 versions.
Bought this used in very good condition, durability remains to be seen. Some of these lenses acquire a slippage in the focus ring that can eventually make them unusable. First lens I bought had the early signs of this problem and was returned. That said, I've also seen lots of reviews from long time owners that make no mention of this issue so apparently it doesn't happen to all of them. What I can say at this point, the focus ring on the lens I have now doesn't have any slip, the focus is almost instant and the images are beautiful. This is also the first lens I've owned with IS and I already LOVE the added possibilities that brings. Amazing really. Bottom line, I have a full frame 5D and shoot mostly people and critters, and I'm expecting this will be the only ... MoreBought this used in very good condition, durability remains to be seen.

I must have received a really horrible lens. The one I got was so filthy inside it littered my sensor with bits, particles, and hair...It cost me $180 for two professional sensor cleanings. I am sure this lens is great but it didn't go so well for me. The lack of quality control for this brand new lens is completely astonishing to me and this issue will resonate with me for a very long time. I was able to return the lens but the $180 in sensor cleanings, $40 for the tripod collar and $120 for the lens filter, I will not get back. What a horrible and messy experience this was for me and I am very upset this happened. I was looking forward to this lens, especially after all the raving reviews and the acclaimed durability.

Incredibly sharp images, works flawlessly on EF, EF-S, and RF systems (with teleconverter). Very fast focus, very low distortion, great color, and HALF the weight of the 2.8 version, which is a bigger deal than you can imagine. I used to use the 2.8 70-200mm for event photography, my back would be killing me with that version. Remember that the extra pound and a half is hanging out 8 inches from the camera, so the fulcrum effect makes the lens feel like it's pulling a lot harder than that. Sometimes I would be in pain for hours. Rarely have I missed the extra stop of light, but I've always appreciated my ability to move around all day with this lens and end up with the same high-quality of photos!
customer Service helped me select the perfect lens for my 14-year-old camera. Shipping was fast and on time. The lens came in the best packaging ever. The images were clear. I rented this for baseball photography and it did not disappoint. I will 100% do this again next season.PS - the text on the packing tape was amazing. Whoever came up with that idea deserves a bonus!
