Superb IQ, sharper than 70-200 f/4

I had always said I'd never sell my 70-200 f/4 L IS even if I bought the f/2.8 version. The f/4 is relatively so light and portable. But I was also confident in this position because the f/4 was reported to be sharper than the old version of the f/2.8. Well, then I rented a 300/2.8 for my little league baseball job. I became spoiled by the beautifully blurred backgrounds. The next time I shot my 70-200/4, suddenly the backgrounds didn't look so OOF anymore, and shutter speeds weren't as high as I wanted. I knew I needed to go to the f/2.8, and as luck would have it, along came the Mark II with reports of even better IQ than the original.
The reviews did not disappoint or over-exaggerate. The results I'm seeing rival those of the 300/2.8L and the 135/2.0L I used to have. It is subtly but noticeably sharper than my 70-200/4. Combined with the thinner DOF, the extra sharpness really pops. Colors and contrast are spectacular as well. The IS works as advertised, and I have shot at 200mm handheld at 1/15. There is a brief click/grind when the IS motor starts and stops, which is normal, but while running it is quieter than the IS on my f/4. The autofocus is quick and accurate. I have not felt a need to micro-adjust my 5DII for it.
Yes, the lens is heavy, but this is the price of perfection. The other price of perfection is, well, the price. I list these as "cons" but I see no physical way Canon could avoid them. I could not justify such an expensive lens if I wasn't getting paid to shoot. Even so, I will have to sell my f/4 and my 100-400L to help offset the cost. Fortunately the lens plus a 2x TC is reported to work at least as well as the 100-400L. I may regret selling the f/4 when my life allows more vacation travel, but the 70-200/2.8LIS II represents a such a significant upgrade in image quality, and not only in speed, that I am bidding farewell to my previously favorite lens. It is quite simply the best lens in my bag now.

I have been engaged in photography for more than 40 years with a statistical process improvement background. So I was more than interested to see if the 70-200 f-2.8 L II was significantly better than the L I. After 2 days of intensive testing my findings using both an EOS 1DS and 20D body are as follows. Contrast for the L II was slightly better. Resolution at 200mm was consistently 1 pair number lower [less good] at the center at f-2.8, 4.0, and 5.6 on the USAF 1951 resolution chart. Resolution through a series 1 Canon 2X multiplier was equal over the same aperture settings. The extreme edge resolution was seen to be slightly better from images of books on a shelf—"real world". Auto focus was significantly faster in bright light, which may be of benefit depending on what you photograph. Image stabilization is about 1 stop improved, but with the high ISO capabilities of current Canon cameras, a one stop increased setting would equalize this difference at the possible expense of increased noise. I chose not to test another sample, because even if a newer sample were to test one pair number higher [better] than the L I, [a possible manufacturing variation] the improvement would probably not be detectable by viewing a 300 PPI printed version at "normal viewing distance." For my purpose, primarily fine art photography, my results simply do not justify the price. So my advice is to test carefully before committing to an L II purchase; reality vs. your expectations may vary…

Comments about Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens:
I really wanted to love this lens - everyone else does. And I really wanted f/2.8. I saved and got this lens. I was excited to take it out of the box. I put it on the camera, took a couple photos and the photos were great. Beautiful bokeh (now that I know what that means). I did take it outside to see what it could do. By the time I came back in I had a crook in my elbow.I was thinking this would be a great lens to take on trips with me, but the thought of carrying that weight...not so much. I was so glad that I chose B&H for my purchase because they had a 30 day return policy - and they also asked if I wanted to return the filter I bought with it. I said I had opened it, they said no problem. I will go back to B&H for all of my purchases. I exchanged it for the 70-200mm f/4.0L IS USM - which is half the weight and half the price.

This is probably one of the finest pieces of glass I've ever owned. Over the last 8 years I've had a 70-200 non-IS and IS models. The sharpness on the this newer model is definitely noticeable.
I'm currently using the lens for video and still photo documentary/journalism work, including interviews and slider shots. The IS motor is a necessity of some of the shots I'm trying to create.

This is easily the best lens I've purchased. It is a bit heavy, which you'll get used to and totally worth it. Super sharp results and built like a tank.

Comments about Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens:
I use this mainly for portraits and it does not disappoint. It couples with my 24-70 f/2.8L to give me a nice range.
I was hesitent at first because of the price range and photography is only a hobby for me. But I eventually took the plunge and do not regret my decision. I'm a fan of build quality and this lens truly delivers.
If you're a person who wants more bang-for-your-buck, you should probably look at the third party equivalents, as their optical qualities are impressive for their prices.
Otherwise, join the party.

I wish I would have bought this lens years ago when my boys were younger. My pics now are soooo much better than before. Gyms are always so bad about lighting, but with this lens, you'll have no problem.

Comments about Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens:
Tack sharp, quiet, very very fast focus. The color is exceptional. Only had the lens for a few days, but all of my 'testing' so far has impressed me. I had the 70-200 F4 L, and that was an excellent lens, but this one is superior by far. Well worth the extra money. The only con is that it is a bit heavy, but the same weight as my 100-400 canon L and manage carrying that one around all day.

Comments about Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens:
This is a fantastic Lens. It starts out feeling solid and there is no question that this is a very well built lens. The optics are flawless! It's not a light weight lens so don't expect to carry this around your neck while hiking! If you want a solid lens with this level of optics, you need to put up with the weight.
I have used it both handheld and on a monopod, the results are great either way. If you are photographing fast moving things and a tripod or monopod are not practical, you can just handhold this lens with the IS on, and you will get great results. When handholding, I find it's best to remove the tripod mount (very easy to do). The lens includes the case and hood, there is nothing else to buy.
Canon engineers have done a great job on this one!

Comments about Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens:
I am a complete novice with a 7D (+15-85mm kit lens). Most of the pictures I take are of my two boys (age 2 and 4 years). For an inside lens - this is too much of a telephoto to use easily (eg. I cant just sit on the sofa and take any shot I want like I do with the 15-85mm lens), but if you are prepared to move a bit, then you can get great indoor pics and video. Outside, this lens just shines. Over the two years I have had the camera I have gotton a few awesome pictures with the really blurry background and punchy image with the 15-85 lens, but with this new 70-200 mm lens I can get those sort of shots at will. It is amazingly quick to focus, gives great details and colour, has a great zoom range for running around in the park with the kids etc. and is also pretty fast (f2.8), so all the pictures of my kids are really cool now as you can capture them mid-jump and mid-run and see all the fine detail (eg. you can count the individual hairs on their heads rather than it just being a blur like it is with the slower lens). So I am exceedingly happy with the lens. I got a terrific price from BandH (about $1500 cheaper than retail here in Australia), and the import into Australia was a breeze.
The only down side to it is that it is a big lens, so it does get heavy after a while, and it also means that I will need to get a new camera bag to put it in.
I used this lens for about ten minutes at work when a friend brought one in. I thought it was going to be too big and unwieldy for me, but then all the positive reviews swayed me away from the new 70-300L that I was considering to this new 70-200L (I figured that most people thought it was the best of the best, so if I was going to spend so much money then I should get the best I could afford, and BandH had an amazing deal on over christmas). Anyway, I dont know much about cameras, so just stuck it on the camera when I got it, put it on auto and went to a friends 4th birthday party and got the best pictures I have ever taken. So I am thrilled with the purchase.

Comments about Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens:
I've been frustrated in the past trying to get distant subjects in low light without cranking the ISO so high that pictures are grainy. This lens seems to help. IS means I can shoot a slower speeds, therefor more light. F2.8 across the whole shooting range means I can open up the aperature to get more light.
Pricey and heavy - but so far seems woth it.

I've been wanting this lens for a while now, and the current Canon rebate was what finally convinced me to take the plunge. I'm using the lens on Canon 7D and love the results. It is heavy, but fortunately my shoot time is usually short (toddlers during playtime in the back yard), and the results are well worth the inconvenience of a little extra weight. I'm pleased with the fast focus and sharpness of my photos. Love the "separation" of the subject from the blurred background (bokeh). Takes my photos to a new level. Even family members that know little to nothing of photography noticed a difference in the photos.

I bought this lens to photograph our local eagles in the loosing daylight,but medical reason have not permitted me todo that so I use it inside the house. With the low light inside the lens is Quick,Silent and as Sharp as my 500.It is alittle heavier than my 100-400 but the quality out weighs the weight. I would and have recommended this lens to fellow photogaphers.

I have read pro reviews from several sites that rated this lens as incredible. I've read user reviews from this site that said the same. And after using this lens I have to say this lens has to be used to be believed. I've used other L glass and I have to say this is the best lens I've ever seen from Canon. If you can afford it, this lens is a must have in any photographer's arsenal. I wish all of Canon's L glass was this good.

I had 70-300 before and upgraded it. This is much better lens than the previous one. The picture quality is high and rich colors. nice bokeh and tack sharp. It is heavy like the money you pay.. and get the output for the money and my clients are happy at the end of the day. Overall great exceptional lens.
