I do look in here still and do miss posting in this thread but all Leica M now with no regrets.
The 200 2L is definitely one of Canon finest efforts when it come to glass. I had mine for 8 years and got about what I paid for it when to was new when I sold it so if you pick one up you probably wont loose $$$$ like you will on Canon bodies and most other Canon glass.

I'm late to the game on ownership. I suspect canon will release a new version now that they have new coatings/optic formulas for weight/size savings. The new 3 option IS also. They release a new one it'll be the same 5,600 new and will drive the used prices on the 200/2 down to the mid 3k range.
) when mounting the 200L/2 on the 1DX2? Mine causes my 1DX2 not to power back up when switched on sometimes after mounting, remove the battery and it's all good again? Latest firmware 1.1.2 and new 1DX2 batteries, I have passed it to CPS who are going to test the combo today for me and let me know, hope I don't have to send them in, never had an issue with my 200L/2 before.
I did send the lens back for the upgrade/update when I bought it used and it was making sounds on my 5D3. I don't know if it's a related issue or not. But I'll wait to see what you report back first.
