Yeah, the 70-200ll is an amazing lens.

Nate, Did you ever have the first 70-200L 2.8 IS? I have been thinking of upgrading it

No I did not, but many say the sharpness improvement is visible. The IS is also better with the ability to go down to 1/30 and still hand hold. It all depends on how you shoot. For example I do a lot of Land/City-scapes along with low light hand holding situations such as in churches and dark gyms. This is where the IS becomes a big factor. I also shoot a lot of sports for my school, where IS doesn't really matter. In short, if you need a very versatile, sharper, and improved IS system, get the mk2 version. Here's a good take on the Mk1 vs Mk2 versions of this lens from the LensRentals President.

Roger's Take

Roger Cicala

President of LensRentals.com

Before I ever used this lens I was predisposed not to like it. The original version is excellent and one of the best zooms made. I wanted Canon to upgrade 12.5 other lenses (the 50 f/1.4 only counts as half a lens) before they turned their attention to redoing the already excellent 70-200 f/2.8 IS. Now that I’ve used it, I’ve changed my opinion somewhat. Sorta. To a greater or lesser extent.

I haven’t changed my opinion that the original lens is excellent. However, the II version is clearly better: sharper in the edges and corners for sure. Probably sharper by a hair in the center, and the IS is clearly, definitely improved. Handholding at 1/30 a second at 200mm is possible, which definitely wasn’t something you could do with version I. So kudos Canon, you made nearly perfect even better. No question it’s a better lens.

Would I upgrade from a Mk I to it? No, I wouldn’t, but that is because of the way I shoot. It might be very different for someone else. For me the 70-200 f/2.8 is a sports/action range, so corner sharpness isn’t a big thing, and better IS doesn’t matter (in fact, the non-IS is fine). But for other people using it for other purposes, those things can be critical and make this clearly a better lens. If I were using it for low-light work where the subjects aren’t moving much (say concerts or plays), then it would clearly be worthwhile.

Here's a linky to the LensRentals 70-200IS II page.

You know, maybe you’re right. I might just upgrade to 5D3 after I start working!

I thought it looked fairly decent and can't beat the price. Two weeks shipping so it will be a while. Just wanted something to throw the camera and a couple lenses in for short day trips.
