Canon 70-210 4.0 question
Good Evening Folks,
I was given a Canon EOS 650 camera today, along with a Canon 70-210 4.0 lens. If I remember correctly, there was a 3.5-4.5 version as well. One was better then the other I believe. Question is, which one is better :dunno
Thank you for your help :thumb
Have a good evening![:D :D](https://dgrin.com/resources/emoji/lol.png)

Hey Jim
The 3.5-4.5 was the better lens. I mistakenly purchased the f/4 years ago off eBay. Sold it off and then bought the 'correct' version. That 3.5-4.5 served me very well for a while until I got funds together for the f/4 IS.
Hope that helps.

Have you even used the lens? Who knows you might like the copy you got.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to have a film camera on hand that takes your EOS lenes. I have the next model up, the 620, and they just differ by a few features. Just for the heck of it I have looked at prices and they don't seem high enough to go through the selling process.

Morning Jane,
Thanks for your comments
I have the 70-200 4.0 version, and I did shoot a few pics last night just for fun. The 70-210 is not a bad lens, but it's not sharp at 4.0 at any focal length. It needs to be stopped down to at least 5.0 to match the same sharpness as my 70-200 4.0 wide open. Also, the contrast lacks at the long end. As for the camera itself, I do have (somewhere in the house
Have a good morning
