70-200mm 2.8L IS II is "...not a fast zoom lenses that many have claimed."

I had a (female) friend who had one of these and told me she thought the lens was merely ok and very heavy.. I borrowed it for a weekend and after a few clicks I noticed she had a 3-stop CPL filter on top of the UV filter.. the whole time she was using a very heavy f8 lens with f2.8 DOF...

And she did not notice from the exposure settings?? Poor girl, she didn't get to try the lens properly... The filters also degrade image quality and add flare!

Hi all,

I'm not from the USA, how genuine are these craigslist ads?

I think it is the same everywhere: there are honest people and dishonest people, and it is not always possible to know which the person who wrote the ad is.

I wonder what "faster" lens he is using on his Canon instead of the two he has. Also wondering why he bought another ???
