Who convinced you?
Maybe it will be better. Like the 24LII is better than the 24LI
I’m hoping it’s as sharp as the F/4IS at 2.8 as the f/4 is at f/4. That would be AWESOME!
Not holding my breath on that though.
Amazon has the 70-200 L IS II for pre-order also…
$2499.00 (free shipping)

From the samples I’ve seen at 200mm at f2.8 is a big improvement in sharpness comparable to an f4.
Do you have a link 2 these samples?
If the f/2.8 lens is as sharp at f/4 as the f/4 lens is at f/4, that would be progress. It is unrealistic to expect f/2.8 to be as sharp as f/4 on the ultra-sharp f/4 lens.
The problem with the “Mark I” lens at f/2.8 is the low contrast on APS-C compared to FF. My experience mirrors what DPR reported in their review. Still, the images clean up nicely in PP and look great in print, so I won’t bother upgrading.
