Is the canon ef 200mm f 2 8l ii usm good for video?

The site doesn't review how this lens performs for video, so I can't give you a verdict on it. Going by its specs, it's a 200mm telephoto prime with no image stabilisation, and that's a tough fit for handheld video. Telephoto framing magnifies every bit of shake, and the lens has no stabilisation to smooth it out.

My video guide is built around vlogging and interviews: a wide lens, good audio, and a light body. If you want a lens for filming at a distance, check the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM alongside a tripod or gimbal, and budget for a separate microphone.
