Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS II Preorder at Adorama

You originally asked how I am qualified to comment on the new lens when I don’t own it. At least I actually own the old one unlike you. I don’t know what kind of photo work you do but if you ever want to take indoor shots without using flash I doubt you would be just as happy with the f4 version of this lens. There is a big difference between the light gathering ability of these lenses. Also, I was quoting the preoder price of the new lens at Adorama and not Amazon. It’s certainty possible that the price might come down some once the lens is in full mass production, but I doubt it will ever sell for much less than the Nikon version. If you really read my review you would have known that I basically felt the old lens was so good that I doubt anyone would even notice the improvements in the Mark II. I also said that no one should assume anything about the new lens until it is tested and reviewed. You might want to wait for those reviews before you buy it. On the other had you could save yourself a bundle right now and buy the old version before it is gone forever. Buy, hey, everyone has has got to do whatever is right for them like you said.

BTW, I have the mk I and wouldn’t writing the comparision review without actually trying mk II.

I own the MK I too and I would never have bought it if
Canon had priced it at $2499.
