Cleaned out the camera bag, sold a few items including my Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 II. Came home with the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L and the 1.4x III TC. Now I need to find a game to shoot..

Hasn't left my 7d since actually my friend has my 24-70 You will not be disappointed. I'll eventually get a 1.4 TC as well The mk1 is discontinued now so i think the OP has the non-is L version. Is there any difference between the two or is it just one has IS and one doesn't? 5D3 | 7D | 85L II | 70-300L | 24-105L | Nifty Fifty | 600EX-RT_______________

I will say that a lot of people say they saw no difference between the II and the III. Tim

[I've also got the 70-200L 2.8 non-IS because it's what I need for what I shoot] Cheers for now, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the lens! Simon Thank you! It only takes one time of NOT doing that to learn your le$$on... I bought what I thought I could use the first time instead of what I knew I needed. Now I have it! Tim
