an often overlook feature of the Mark II is the min focus distance. This makes the Mark II a lot more useful in close in situations.

Nov 14, 2010 12:35 | #47 It is a fantastic lens - there is no argument there!   (shot lightly cropped for presentation actual result shown here: http://www.flickr.com …in/set-72157624636257785/  )http://www.flickr.com …in/set-72157624636257785/  100% crop of a 400D  For performance with a 2*TC its a fantastic result and this is still with the M2 2*TCs - I can't wait to give it a try with the new M3 versions once they hit the market. The only downside is that with such a large lens focusing manually for the macro/closeup shots can be very tricky, but its certainly possible to get great closeup results and that makes for such a versatile nature lens when in the field. Tools of the trade: Canon 400D, Canon 7D, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS L M2, Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 OS, Canon MPE 65mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro, Tamron 24-70mm f2.4, Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 8-16mm f4.5-5.6, Raynox DCR 250, loads of teleconverters and a flashy thingy too

This is my second copy of this lens (current which I have owned for a year now)... The first one was softer then my current at 200mm and was why I exchanged it (along with IS grinding noise). Performance is very good though with my current lens, no complaints. It just came back from Canon last week for a check/clean/calibrate and IS repair.
