You can't tell where the focus was or what the settings were..... Unless I missed something? Focus was centre AF point on all "The important thing is not to stop questioning.

My previous 70-200 f/4 L RAW shots required less PP than my current f/2.8 as the RAW shots from the f/4 were fantastic. This will be my deciding factor if upgrading to the MKII.

Especially by the time you get to a print or web crop. David S wrote in post #9778292 I am not worried about the sharpness. I'd rather have better color and contrast. My previous 70-200 f/4 L RAW shots required less PP than my current f/2.8 as the RAW shots from the f/4 were fantastic. This will be my deciding factor if upgrading to the MKII. Colour and contrast are different between all of my lenses; Ls or not. If I have to match them, I'll tweak a few dials in LR... In the digital age I don't let colour or contrast go as deciding factors for lenses (unless they can't hold contrast into the sun). I bet the Mark II will have better coatings and probably better contrast for that... but not enough for my $ right now. ••Vancouver Wedding Photographer

For my eye I think new MK II lens really GREAT for sure !! Love it ! Good thing for 200mm f2 L IS USM now just for f2 ~ :P which means only require around ISO800 (no need for ISO1250), I mean the light level I shoot for above images. What do you think? For me next week I am going to bring new MK II lens into Melbourne fashion week, then keep my 200mm f2 IS USM home~ Gear List
