I did but, close is not a big deal to me. I serisously don't pixel peep. This is just another overpriced lens with slightly, and I mean slightly better optics.

LOL says the current owner. :p

Nikon owners can't bear to pixel peep, I know. :p :p ;)

As you can see from my sample, it's sharp as tack. And the difference is negligible between my MK I and your MK II. Sori man, this lens is a rip off if you ask me. If you got a microscope zoomed in 20x, you'll see a difference. ;)

LOL I just laugh at you and your inferior lens. :p

Here's an image at 190mm @ 2.8 on the 70-200 2.8 IS MK I and 1Ds MK III with minor cropping for composition. Only some minor sharpening in LR. :)

So Julian owns one of only four copies in the USofA* ... Nice!

(*According to the Canon Rep who was at our aviation photography symposium in Vegas this past week.)

Same with my 70-200 2.8L IS II (I've only had it a few hours I admit). ;)

I meant there are only four of that lens in the US right now.

The other three were used at the Olympics (and they had one of those on the table in Vegas)

You need intervention. :p

I'll see what I can do, any requests? Certain angles. Maybe something looking right up it's rear hole thingy? :shock:

Ahh...Yes!! :oops: You are correct Jay. This lens has 24k gold contacts on the rear of the lens for better AF. Something the MK II doesn't have. ;)
