how's your copy of the 70-200mm Mark II

Demoed one yesterday including some with a 2x TC attached and it was truly excellent at all FL's.
I Shouldn't of done that!!

I cant be happier with mine. Dead on at any aperture, and any FL. Superb.

I would like to see some comparison images from both lenses from someone who upgraded from the Mark I to the Mark II.

I'm a Mark I owner and have the fever to upgrade. I hate this feeling......

I might get the chance to do just that.

You'll feel a lot better just buying it. There's no sense in doing a comparison. I used to own the MK I and the MK II is that much better.

There are bunch of threads.

Absolutely awesome. I have no complaints. Sharp at all focal lengths. I sent mine in for concerns of decentering as one corner seemed to be slightly less sharp. But after it came back calibrated, it was pure magic.

I've never noticed a difference in sharpness throughout the focal lengths. I had the 24-70 for a short time and that was a bit of a pain with focusing. I traded it in for the Mark II and couldn't be happier. Now I just need something better in the 24-70 range.

A 24-70 MK II with IS.

No doubt. Hopefully soon.

I've heard all the raves about this lens on a 7D but how does it perform on a 40D and 50D...just as well?

This lens will perform well on any sensor.

My copy is so sharp my eyes bleed when I look at it....not the pictures, the actual lens. Yeah, it's that badass.

Sadly unused. For the past six months I've basically completely gone over to using prime lenses and the 70-200/II has not gotten much exercise. It's too bad as it's a fantastic lens. I got a load of great pictures with it during a safari in South Africa in May and I would really like to have another such opportunity to put it to good use.

The problem is that it's a bit of a specialty lens for me. I primarily shoot nature and landscapes for which I rarely need full 200mm. At the same time it's heavy and bulky and not a lens that I'd bring along unless I really knew that I needed it.

Superb lens, well worth the upgrade if you're often shooting at f/2.8
