The 70-200mm f/4L IS weighs in at a mere 1.5 lbs (695g) with a length of just 4.7″ (120mm). Both lenses are built to high standards, but upon close examination, the f/2.8 version is the more robustly constructed lens. The extending barrel of the f/4 version has just a small bit of play, while the f/2.8’s barrel is exceptionally rigid.
