:?: Canon 200mm f2.8 L??

[djtowle]

Can anyone tell me the difference between the MKI and the Mk II of the Canon 200mm f2.8 L??

Physical differences? Weatherproofing?

Optical differences?

When did Canon start making the MKII

And finally has anyone used both this lens (either version) and the 70-200mm f2.8L?

TIA.

I use it a lot for concert photography and it rocks.

The lenshood is build in, it is black and has a red ring....
I am not sure, but the MKll might have IS built in.

Thanks for the link, Nice Page. Apparently the difference is built in hood, VS, Detachable hood.
