The Len Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM was introduced way back in August 2001, supplementing (but not replacing) the non-stabilized Len canon ef 70-200mm F2.8 L USM in Canon's highly regarded telephoto lineup.
The Len canon ef 70-200mm is an EF lens, and has presumably been designed from the outset for optimum performance on Canon's professional 1-series DSLRs, with their full-frame 35mm and 1.3x crop (APS-H) formats (indeed the original EOS-1D was announced just a month after this lens, with the full-frame EOS-1Ds following a year later). However it's also fully at home on all of Canon's APS-C DSLRS, here providing a 112-320mm equivalent angle of view.
